So I use my truck to work and today on my ride down to a job the check engine light came on and then off. So I thought it was nothing maybe from the truck sitting for the last week.. However while making my way home towing a dump trailer no less I lost all power and I could hear air pushing out of somewhere. Also the turbo was running very little pressure.
I found the air was coming from out of the turbo into a (rubber or silicon) hose, and the hose had slipped off and the Clamp was missing, I went and got a hose clamp to just limp it home. Now it builds pressure however it sounds like air is forcing out like a bunch of off tune trumpets(sorry for the poor comparisons) is their any way to seal the connection better so that air doesn't leak or do I need to replace the entire hose/pipe. Ive tightened as well as I can. It only has 37k miles on it and I just want to do it right I depend on it, and really don't want to bring to the dealer if I dont need too..
