I was coming home from the river this weekend in my 2005 Excursion 6.0 with 28xxx miles of it towing a 21' boat. On a the hill i heard a loud pop and all of a sudden lost power. Right away i though a clamp or the rubbers on the intercooler tubes broke/popped off. I pull over to check the situation out and i see everything intact perfectly normal. I decided to pull off the tubes to check everything out and everything was fine. I then turned the truck on to see if the turbo was producing air, and it was. I then connected the hose back to the turbo but left it disconnected at the intercooler and boost flowed to that point, Then connected it there and checked the exit end of the intercooler and no boost was flowing there. I just wanted to know if it is common for these intercoolers to go bad and block boost?
The Pop was loud and seemed to be near the turbo. There seems to be a small dent on my hood near that area. but everything was intact. im just a littles puzzled and wondering if anyone else has experienced something like this
