Intercooler pipe blew off today HELP!
As you are looking at the engine with the hood up, the intercooler pipe on the right side that attaches to the turbo with a black hose blew off today at 60 mph as the truck down shifted to pass a car. I lost all power and the noise scared me to near death!! I limped home with a top speed of 40mph up hill. I will clamp those two pieces in the morning and see what happens. Any body have an idea as to what caused this connection to burst apart? Thanks!

I would guess you need to do a CCV mod, and tighten every other intake clamp in there while you're at it. Don't forget to tighten the two intake runners. (four clamps total there). If you have an oily film on the piping do the CCV mod. Good Luck

remove and clean all the boots and pipes they mount to and reinstall. these engines take in the crankcase venting vapors and that gets on the intake boots causing them to slip off. There is a modification to eliminate that, some work and cheap parts, you'll be good to go.

Once you do the CCV mod, take all your boots off and give them a good cleaning with some warm water and liquid soap. Here is a before and after...
