Broke Down.....Again
So I just don't have any luck with anything turbo related. Last time it was my intercooler that went out. Now the passenger side intercooler tube keeps popping off and the damn clamp is broken so I can't tghten back up to even get me to the damn truck stop. I guess it could be worse...it could be late at night and raining...oh what, it is.

According to Google, there is a TA truck stop at exit 68, as well as a RV Park. If you can limp it to there, you may be good for the evening until you can find a clamp.
I have had a boot split on me, you should still be able to limp along, but it will be way under power and slow...
I wish I could help more, Good luck!!!

Twitch, can you limp it to a shopping center or something with a big parking lot and call it a night? That way in the AM, you can unhook and limp it to a parts store or shop.

Looking at Google, that truck stop looks like your best shot... Everything else seems further away or behind you

Used temp clamp, jammed the hose on and limped the 2 miles. Handed the stripped clamp to the shop and said I need a new one and give me an extra just in case. I now have ones off freightliner.... It should hold. Thanks for the help guys.

Well that didn't last long.......
I can't get this thing on any tighter. Finding nearest dealer, parking in their lot and having them do the damn thing when they open.
