Bruce Amacker Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I shot these pics at a local shop. I've never seen it before, is this common, or uncommon? The air intake/turbo was loaded with dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregKneupper Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I have seen a few that are collapsed and soft but never one with a hole in it like that. I have however seen the tube that the breather hose goes into get soft and split at the bottom where it connects to the turbocharger.

Bruce Amacker Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 It must be heat that is damaging the hoses, as this truck is in south Florida. I never saw this up north. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a handful over the last couple of years on older trucks... 2003/2004 models. Replace them as a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
