    Anyone got a good source for decent charge air hoses (aka Hump Boots) ?
    I'd like to replace mine when I swap out the CAC this week.

    4" round by 6" long..

    I have always just got them from the dealer (The blue silicone ones?).
    Not expensive enough to justify the time needed to find an alternative IMHO.
    Good news is, they are all but universal. So if you run a KW/Pete, you can get them cheaper at a Freightliner dealer most of the time for less than what KW or Pete dealers want for them.

    Replace all the clamps with new while you're at it.

    Coat the screw threads with anti-sieze before you put them on if you got the screw type.

    Put some between the mating surfaces if you have the spring type.
