DieselSite 2003-2007 6.0 Powerstroke Intercooler Boot Kit

DIESELSITE boots are designed to replace leaking and deteriorated sets on the 6.0L Ford PSD light-duty diesels.

These boots are made of a more durable material and have a stronger hold for trucks, allowing them to achieve higher boost numbers. A higher boost in the PSD can stretch the limits of a saturated set of factory boots and could blow them right off.  In some cases, even stock or underpowered vehicles may experience boots that slip and lose grip if they've lost integrity and are saturated with oil.

This kit includes the boot(s) that connect the intercooler to the intercooler piping and clamps. This kit is dependent on the year OR your intercooler piping style if previously converted, and will be the difference in receiving one or two boots. Please select the appropriate setup before adding it to the cart.

THE ISSUE WITH STOCK BOOTS:

Stock boot material is silicone; however, this type of material is NOT oil compatible.  This material will break down over time in these applications as the PSD incorporates a closed crankcase vent system. This means oil travels through the intake and comes in constant contact with the boots. This oil contact causes deterioration and leaks due to the incompatibility of the silicone boots and the oil from your crankcase. If you have seen an oil mist all over the valley of your PSD and wondered where it was coming from, chances are it was caused by leaking and deteriorated stock boots. The stock boots will leak air and oil, causing a 3-4 PSI loss in boost.

This is a DIESELSITE original product and has been treated with the highest quality.  We ordered sample upon sample of hose material and clamps until we were satisfied with the quality of the parts and certain of their integrity in our application. These boots are made from a hose reinforced with a 5-ply braided synthetic fabric. It will not kink or collapse. The special synthetic rubber is exceptionally resistant to heat, ozone, gasoline, gasohol, methanol, ethanol, and diesel fuel.  It can withstand the engine heat and 100 psi boost pressure.  With care, this is a virtually indestructible boot material.

These boots are lined with Fluorolastomer to withstand heat and oil.  Fluorolastomers are synthetic, rubber-like materials used in gaskets and O-rings. Their unique properties make these products ideal for high-performance aerospace and automotive applications in extremely harsh and challenging environments.
