Default Help smoke/boost/power/ASAP

So i just got my truck back from the shop.They replace radiator,inter cooler and everything else.

Left the shop. My adrenaline was not reading boost. Egt on level 0 were at 1000 and the power was like it was in limp mode. Turned the adr up to 10. No boost, and still no power. When i looked out my mirror i was DUMPING coal.It was black didn't seem like there was any different color and egts were around 1200 (medium pedal). O and no check engine light.

Any of you guys got any ideas as to what this might be.

so in summery
!. No boost reading
2. No power
3. Dumping coal.

Sounds like they didnt hook up the hoses on the intercooler. have you looked under the hood to see if anything is out of place

Well look over the boots. Found the boot from the cooler to the intake tube was half way off on one side. Got both sides back on but now one of the clamps went bad. So im just going back to the shop and have them fix it right.

The clamp may have failed when they tightened it and the boot could have blown off on the test drive. We have had it happen before, but its usually pretty obvious. If they didn't test drive it after the initial repair I would not be going back to them again. . .

Well me an a buddy of mine put it back on and tightend it. Took it for a drive that same one came off then was off to begin with. So you just might be right about the clamp failing. Luckly i got 2 clamps...
