Turbo charger hose keeps blowing off pull a horse trailer w/f350 diesel 2003 ford & on nov. 19,2003 I got my right hand burned trying to put turbo hose back on, to get truck & trailer off road ford dealer would not come out. Ilgot to a deler in gerstown ,maryland & got new hose & clamps after being on the road for over 12 hours to go 175 miles.
While driving truck engines would shut off and then restart. This happened a couple of time on a narrow mountain road causing me to lose steering for a second or two, very scary. Problem fixed after I replaced the cps on my own.
