NEED INPUT (intercooler boots/clamps)

My boots (the two just after the turbo) are getting where they are easier and easier to blow off. Once at 36 lbs and again at 34. What are the the best boots/clamps and any tips on installing?

clean the boots and piping to remove oil residue to see if that helps. heard of people using cheap hairspray to help hold boots on. my expierence the best boots are the ones from peak diesel.

I've been running stock boots for 240,000 miles on a 12 second truck with no issues. Clean them up really well with a good spray type cleaner that removes oil residue and then spray with hairspray.

Peak boots here too.. Never had a problem with my stockers, but one was rubbing through so I just got the set.

Boots falling off? Try tying your laces, just kidding...I've never seen a boot blow off without damaging it? All the big trucks I've seen it happen to the hose blows, not slips off. Dodge just running cheaper clamps that stretch out or something?

I tried the BD Power boots and they were horrible. I changed them out with the Stylin' Motors boots and have been real happy with them.
