Order a set and replace them all.

I will vouch for RIFF RAFF products and have their CAC boots (2nd set). I decided to replace the clamps as a set and ordered the complete set from RIFF RAFF. Although the clamps are good quality, some of the OEM appear more heavy duty.

If I had to do it all over, I would buy a complete OEM set but be aware, they are EXPENSIVE.

So far most of the RIFF RAFF clamps are doing a good job (I reused the 2 OEM on the problematic top side boot).

 

the Deisel site clamps are stouter than OEM IMO

 

None of my RIFF RAFF clamps came with the constant tension coil which is why I used two of the old ones.

The dieselsite are much nicer for sure

According to KC turbos they use riff raff clamps....but who knows

 

Okay, i'll order from dieselsite. Thanks!

What size is the correct one i need?

 

Just got an email from DieselSite
If you have the metal cold side pipe you'll need:
2 x 2.5"
5 x 3"
1 x 3.25"

When I had CAC boots blowing off, I tried cleaning them because they had oil on them and they would slip off. I finally just replaced them and that was the right thing to do, because the material had gotten too soft and the retention O ring built into the boot was too soft. I ended up buying some extra hose clamps to keep in the truck for just such an occasion. I think I got them on Amazon but I have never used them so I don't know how they would hold up. So if your boots are slipping off it may be time to get new ones.

 

Ya know ...they get their clamps from here

Just a FYI, a complete set of clamps form DieselSite is only $55.92 plus shipping

 

My Diesel Site replacements for Banks IC have been great for more than 3 years and 125K miles.

I'm going to buy new boots and clamps from diesel site. Mine are covered in oil, so i'm sure they're breaking down anyway.

Thanks guys!
