I'm new to this so bear with me.
Don't know the sequence.

I was driving and really got on my 7.3 and heard a loud POW like a gun going off. Immediately lost power.
Thought something in tranny let loose.
Turned out when I replaced a power steering pump line I under tightened the clamp on my turbo duct. Put it back on and problem solved.
Talked to my garage guru and he said you have to get every bit of oil or grease off of both the duct and the turbo or they'll blow off of there even if you've tightened them tight.
So now I know something I didn't know before.

Yep, most clean the piping with something like brake clean and then take hairspray, yes hair spray and spray the pipes. The hairspray gives a bit of extra stick do they don't blow off as easy.
