Riffraff cac boots
Why would brand new boots on the hot side have a dusting of and oil residue on them? Looks like the old boots looked before I replaced them nothing else in the engine compartment is getting dusted.

How many trucks with OEM boots have you had? I've had 9 or 10 of these now and every one of them has had oil seepage. Oil is a funny liquid, it goes all kinds of places and through the smallest of passages. Not to mention, it can some from all sorts of places.

The boots on my 05 have been changed three times. They've never leaked thru the material till at least 2 to 4 years old. If oil can leak thru the material then boost pressure can too.

He said just watch the boost and the boots if it continues to have a problem he will take care of it. He also had and extremely fast response to my email, Thanks for the info from everyone.

I have run many different boots over the years, and the riffraff diesel ones are the best hold I have seen. Running over 60psi on the 6.4L without any issues for years now.

Your saying that the new CAC boots from RIFFRAFF are letting a small amount of oil leak thru to the outside? And you made a phone call to them, and they said to close the thread.. Why? Because they are sending you a replacement to correct a deficient product? My stock boots are pretty old, no issues and no oil leaking thru AND I was considering buying these boots because they looked pretty cool and have received good reviews. Now I'm not so sure.... they want you to close the thread so nobody see's it. If anything they would want it known that they handled a customer complaint fast and efficient.
Now I'm interested to hear the whole story.
