New guy

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site, although I have been reading a lot of your comments and sugestions over the last several weeks. So, I decided to join in on the comments about or beloved 6.0 diesel motors. I have a 2003 F 350 with 35,000 miles. I only drive it on the weekends and take very good care of it. I installed a Banks exhaust system with the Ottomind chip and it runs great. But, I was recently on a trip and the lower coupling hose from the aftercooler to the turbo kept blowing off when accelerating. Seems others in this community have also had this problem. I used high heat silicone and a peice of bailing wire to keep it from blowing off again. When I tried to tighten the clamp, it kept wanting to slide off. I also noticed there was some oil inside the tube which would indicate a possible turbo seal starting to leak. Has anyone else had these problems, and does Ford has a fix???
