Sign of Problums?
 

Blew a Intercooler boot today on a 05 F350 :booo: First off the truck has a edge Juice other then that it is stock. I don't drive this truck much and it does very little towing but today I needed it ( The Dodge pulling a different trailer)

Today was 65 out I did notice that the cooling fan was coming on because well it needed to but the engine cooled right down. Boost was runing around 33-34 on the juice moniter but the factory boost gauge was only reading 21-22 :humm: Another strange thing is the exhaust has been running higher then normal 500 at idle but it never went over 1150 before the boot blew.
Am I thinking to hard here or are these signes of a known problum.

At the time the Edge was off.

put the boot back on and crank it (the edge) to the max..... then, replace with Cummins :U:

clean the boot with ether (take off the engine first) then put it back on.

The boot didn't just blow off it blew into 2 pieces.
Debating should I spend $80 for 1 factory boot or spend $180 and get all new one's from BD.

would sell the whole damn truck :argh:

i would save money but its just $100 more so do what you want. If it happened to me i would just replace it with the factory boot

While I somewhat agree with the mad scientist. If that isn't an option I would buy aftermarket. The only person I know firsthand that blew a boot, had a completly stock truck. :w2: Myself and others had bombed the hell out of ours and they never blew. Everything else went on mine but the boots stayed :argh:
