The new ones are supposedly coming through with aluminum and boots on both sides. I don't know if there's a way to get the aluminum one on the cold side or not.
If you clean it out with brakleen real good, blow it out with compressed air, and double up your clamps (run a bit over the spec'd torque too) it should go away as a leak. I've been back toward 18Klbs a few times since then. Mine never blew off, but I got the leaks. No leaks for about 13000 miles.

The clamp they put on the maniffold is more than sufficient...in fact if I kept tightening it down I could break the manifold... This was a really thick t-bolt clamp... But my concern having dealt with these issues on turbo race cars is If you just correct the section thats blowing off at the time then your doomed to watch the next weakest in line fail...Im not saying it will happen but If it does it could be a pita..The IC side of the cool tube is almost imossible to get to if i had it happen opn the road somewhere....I just dont understand why they did not put a Blow off valve inside this system... You can set them up to recirculate...Im considering making a metal version of the cool side and welding in a blowoff valve....
I love this>> No where in the brochure did it say anything about having an engineering background to finish the work that ford did not do..
I know I sound bitter but Im just a few more shop days away from Lemon Law.. Im so disgusted with the myriad of issues with this thing it has totally ruined this new vehicle experience.. The sad part is I love the truck when its running ight but now Im to the point where Im not even surprised when something else goes wrong..

Luckily mine hasn't come off. But I think I'll see if I can tighten it to be safe.
