Similar story....sorry for not making that clear.Is this a backstory to this dilemma or just a similar story you're sharing?
That came later....🤣Surprised the Bully Dog didn't also take out the transmission!
Another thread ruined. Nothing but bashing here, and OP might be gone for good.
Well the OP was logged back on 3 hrs ago and has yet to give any extra info. So thread quality really depends on info given. Most of these threads with people just coming hear to complain end this way.

Most people with 6.0 problems are far past the sensitive type…Another thread ruined. Nothing but bashing here, and OP might be gone for good.
If you want to be coddled and only told what you want to hear then go back to your mechanic that probably fkd you in the first place. Most people have no idea until they have owned a 6.0 for years and dumped thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours making it right, and are entitled to give real advice.Another thread ruined.

Boo hoo ......Stt Take your sympathy reply and go help the OP that most likely destroyed his own truck. He came here for real answers and vanished because he didn't like what he heard after asking for advice.

I disagree but that meme is exquisite
I appreciate all the valuable content you added.Another thread ruined. Nothing but bashing here, and OP might be gone for good.
That meme got him a warning... had he been a newer member it would have been a vacation.I disagree but that meme is exquisite
Question when I was riding down the road yesterday after hauling a trailer my Turbo hose popped off I heard a pop and then the turbo hose popped off and oil shot everywhere what does that meanturbo sticking can cause it to blow off, or just the boot , if you havent noticed any other concerns , go buy you a new boot , clean tube and turbo good and install a new boot , trying to reuse the old boot will continue to cause you problems, replace it , drive it and see if that takes care of the problem before goin any further
That I have to replace the turbo or is it just an easy fix
Oil in the CAC system (Charge Air system) is normal due to the Closed CrankCase Vent system (CCV). Obviously the boot blowing off isn't acceptable, but if they get oil soaked, they will deteriorate.
You just need to inspect the boot closely (clean it with Brake Kleen).
You might be over-boosting also. Need to watch the MAP sensor output and EBP. Comparing MAP, EBP, and Baro at KOEO is helpful from time to time. They should all be the same at KOEO (within 0.5 psi anyway).

If you need new boots and clamps consider:
