Heater Hose blowing off'

[dommel01]

Well since ive got my Kem tunes, if i give it full throttle, my hose shoots off the heater suppy, its right beside the airbox, has anyone else had this problem? i took the stock clamp off and replaced it with 2 hose clamps

head gasket blown?

[dommel01]

why would a blown head gasket make the hose shoot off?

[tricktom1]

Combution pressures pressurizing the system?

Yeah head gaskets would be my guess also.

[dommel01]

the truck seems to be running fine though, if the head gasket was blown would it be lacking power?

I can only speak for my 6.0. I blew mine pulling my camper, pulled over flashed back to stock then finished my trip to TS. I drove easy and kept boost low but I couldnt really tell any power difference. Stock is to slow anyway. So it is a possibility that is your problem.

Did you like going to TS? I work in Somerset one day a week and was thinking about taking a ride over to bowling green.

From what I can remember. Good times. My wife and I kinda let loose since it was the first time going anywhere without our son.
