Mine has popped off a few times. Comes off on the pipe closest to the turbo. One time the clamp actually broke and that caused it. I believe there is an updated one now. I used to use hair spray and that worked for awhile but the hose did eventually pop off again. I got on here and someone mentioned hitting the end of the pipe to create a flare or weld a bead around it so the hose clamp has something of a lip to snug against like the turbo side does. I have not had a problem since.

 

Wipe off the side of the boot and scuff it up a little with 1500 grit sandpaper then use hair spray. I haven't had a problem.

 

i have never had this happen, but was actually taklking about this today and i was told to clean the oil off the boots with brakeclean and when putting back on put a small amount of rtv inside the boot and that will creat a tight seal on the pipe and make sure your clamp bolt isnt stripped out

 

RTV ? if you do that route let it set up for the recommended time it will take a while to cure ,,

 

the type of rtv we use at work we get from napa and after its applied you can use whatever you put it on in like 5 to 10 min

 

Hair spray or maybe upgrading to the riff raff ones

 

Thanks guys. Great advice. I am glad to know that I am not the only one that this silly crap has happened to.

The 6.0 is gutless when this pipe blows off!

 

cleaned mine and used RTV and never had an issue

 

I used rubber cement and the updated clamps from Ford on my 05, did the trick.

 

I stole the wifes Finger nail polish remover and cleaned mine ( boy was she happy) but it cleaned it very well and never had another problem

 

i had a thin ring of steel tacked on end of pipe right where the flare should be.
also added a metal strap to the pipe and bolted it to alternator bracket.
a new OE boot every 2 years as well.
