    Turbo output hose blows off.
    I have an 2004 F250 with a stock 6.0 diesel. Under heavy load (I tow a 13000 pound 5th wheel) it blows the output hose loose from the turbo. The first time it happened, we limped into a dealership and they installed undated hoses and changed the clamps. The clamp at the turbo connection had broken. Two months later the same thing happened. The clamp disappeared so I used a regular hose clamp to get home. I purchased a replacement clamp and installed it. The next time I used the truck to tow the 5th wheel it blew again. Any help would be appreciated.

    I googled around for the towing capacity on your truck. Wasn't able to come up with any exact numbers from Ford but from reading around on some forums it looks like the towing capacity for your truck is around 12,500 LBS. And if you have something loaded on your 5th wheel that obviously increases the weight so it may be too much weight for the truck to handle.

To get higher wattage output in a lower output fixture. [ 1 Answers ]

We purchased a Harbor Breeze fan with light fixture, but did not see that the wattage output was only going to be 40 watts. We need more lighting in our room. We have tried bigger watt bulbs but the fixture starts to blink and then goes dim(back to the 40 watt output). How can we change that?
