I read on the &quot;other&quot; site that if you sprayed the inter cooler hose connections with cheap hair spray they are a lot less prone to leak.You do need to take them apart first then spray and reassemble.<br>BTW Welcome to the BEST site for the Ram CTD.<br>Tom

 

[quote author=BigBlue link=board=5;threadid=12226;start=0#116109 date=1047685626]<br>On the intercooler hoses, someone on this board a long time ago said that the dealer cranked down the clamps with an impact wrench. If this is incorrect, what is the proper torque setting? I just crank mine down till I can't turn it anymore.<br>[/quote]<br><br>Can't find anyplace with torque specs for the intercooler hose clamps, but...I torqued too hard, stripped the threads and had to buy a new one. You can't buy just the bolt - has to be the whole clamp. When I was told the price I :'( I told the dealer I didn't want a new engine, just a hose clamp.
