I need a custom length of intercooler hose 5"L x 3" ID. 4ply HD.

I've made several calls already with no luck. (Fleetbrake, Cummins, DPS, Gregg's, Ability Hose)

Any idea's. Big rig truck shops?


Thanks, Joe...

Have you tried Mopac ?

StealthDiesel

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Sadly, still no luck for exactly what I'm looking for...

I found orange boots. Red boots. 2 ply. Rad hose. Minimum 1 foot for $110, etc, etc...
Mopac did have what I wanted, black 4 ply, but minimum 3 feet for $120.
Not sure I want to spend that much when I only need 5".


I sent an email to Richard at Glacier, hopefully he can track it down.

The truck is driveable & the boot & clamps haven't moved but I popped my turbo to intercooler boot before & so I'm concerned.

You dont have much choice but to order it in.

IIRC, my BD boot for a 3rd gen IC pipe to air horn is 5" or longer. Standard boots are 4", and this one is longer due to my 1" spacer on the intake.

I would give alamo and greenline a call. That were I bought mine from. I have 3in, 3.5in and 4in available, just to bad I'm 2000km away right now.

I think my goodyear boots are 4 ply.

Could also just weld on some extra length of exhaust pipe to the pipe coming off the intercooler and run the hose what you have. I think most auto shops have 3in exhaust pipe couplers or swing by a muffler shop, they could help you out.

Greenline just has 2ply 3" rad hose. Alamo can order 3ft lengths in for about $100.


This is a great idea, thanks Mike. A muffler shop could do this fairly quickly, then I can use standard length boots, nothing custom.

Hey Joe, got a hose for you, 3" x 6" long, its blue with 3 metal support rings in the hump part of the hose (middle). It will take all the boost your going to thru @ it. Its off smaller freightliner trucks, my cost is just under $36. You can trim 1/2" off each end to make it 5" long. Dont know how many ply, its a real hose. Likely 1/8+ thick, didnt measure it. Saw it the other day in parts while looking for something else. I will pm you numbers if you want it.

StealthDiesel

Thanks for the offer Scott.

I ordered the correct hose/boot from Glacier Diesel in Spokane. It should be here today or Monday. Much cheaper than anything local.

As an aside, I have ton of Glacier stuff on my truck and Richard is great to deal with.
It's a small shop in Spokane, great web site, they ship USPS to Canada & Richard is very experienced and knowledgeable with common rails.
