Re: Problems with 2004 F350 Turbo
Your problem is result of the bean counters trying to save $1.47 Seems like if those dealers really wanted to fix it right, they would have. Plenty of 04 have had their IC hoses updated. Here's the info from the TSB. If it were me, I'd replace the intake elbow with on 03 (aluminum) version.
Intercooler Hose Blow-Off:
On 2004 trucks that exhibit the cold side hose/pipe blowing off at the intake manifold, this may be due to the clamp being under torqued or damaged. Clean the outside of the intake manifold inlet and the inside of the hose or pipe. On trucks built from 12-15-03 to 4-1-04 replace the cold side pipe assembly with P/N 5C3Z-6C646-BA. On trucks built after 4-1-04 inspect the clamp, and if it is damaged, replace it with P/N 1C3Z-6K786-BA. Seat the hose/pipe onto the intake manifold and torque the clamp (6 ft/lbs 12-15-03 to 4-1-04; 9 ft/lbs after 4-1-04). Broadcast Message 1329, TSB 04-20-9.
