    Ouch, what ended up happening there? Pulled off? Limped somewhere?

    Here in my situation I was able to utilize a 1" ratchet strap to secure the hose back in place and then babied it 20 miles to a Peterbilt dealership where I picked up a new clamp and installed it. Ready to roll again. As probably everyone here knows, just 15 psi of boost makes a huge difference (I see up to ~45 psi with this truck).

    I always wanted to carry some spare parts but never knew what to carry so I only have some tools. I guess I'll start carrying some hose clamps.

    Mechanics wire, assortment of zip ties, and electrical tape(kind that's alittle stretchy). Good pair of ViseGrips (not those off brand "Locking pliers" POS's).

    One would be amazed how many problems that little assortment will limp you out of....

    We only got about 5" at my place. I'm delivering 45 miles south of Worthington just a few miles west of 60. I guess you can't get there from Worthington according to the contractor.
