Orange Boot

[welder79]

I have heard that the orange boot is bad but have never really been told why.....

because it tears somewhat easily causing a leak that could allow dirt/debris into the turbo

So what should I do about it?

 

[Crumm]

Replace it with a blue one.

Replace it with a blue one.

Who carries those? Ford or ?

I still have the stock air housing and all the parts. I have seen pictures of the original neck being used with a Tymar (or knock-off). Will it just swap or does it take some modification?

Tx,

Are you talking about the black hose that is connected to the elbow after the filter in this pic? If so, yes it just slips right in, the elbow is 4" and so it the black hose at that point.

The only ones I can find on Bob's site are for the SuperDuty's. I don't know if he has anything for the OBS trucks, but I suppose it would be worth a call to see if he can get the right part...

95, the picture you posted isnt loading but I suspect it is what I have seen in the past. I guess I will just save my original and use it when the orange gives out. I just did the intake about 3 months ago so it should be good for awhile.

Thanks.
