Where to get IC boots?

This past Saturday I had a boot blow. When I put it back on I noticed it is saturated with oil. I did the ccv mod back in may, but I guess 9 years of oil has took it's toll. I checked diesel site and their out of stock. Any ideas where else I can get a set?
Thanks

If you blew a boot on the cold CAC side, then it will still have some oil. Thats a big radiator to get all the oil out. Basically it will ALWAYS have some oil standing in those boots.

yes. It might still have been there if you hadn't cleaned out your boots. Which boot was it?

No, there's no such thing as a babies butt on a 7.3. Dont really know what to consider that, i dont really think anything looks actually like a baby's butt. Anyway do you mean the compressor manifold that connects to the outlet of the compressor? That blue boot?

Thanks
Huck,

If you are going to get a set make sure you get them for an Early 99 if your IC is stock. A lot of sites will say 1999.5 to 2003. I would call ahead unless they specify Early 99.
