Well, but would it not give then problems with starting even when I disconnet the Charge Air hose. Once I disconnect the hose the truck turns on fine and runs. When I put the hose back on it cloggs it and it wont start.

It is then breathing from the intake without any turbo or airfilter restiction. The turbo is turned by heat and exhaust gases when turbo is spun it sucks from airfilter and then pushes pressure into intake which is refered to as boost. If turbo can't spin it will restrict the intake. When you unhook cac hose the engine is running like a car engine. The engine is natrally asperated with cac hose unhooked. Check turbo and air filter.
Meho1969 Thanks this. -
Now when you say check the Turbo, you mean unhook it and make sure there is nothing inside it, or what exactly do you mean by the "Check the Turbo" because now you are scaring me a bit. I had the Turbo replaced in May of this year and that was a expensive repair, I would hate to think that I might have to be doing that again....

Just pull the air filter first and see if someone has been messing with your truck.
flood Thanks this. -
That was my thought too, but now I have to wounder. It was working fine just the other day, parked it after a long haul and everything, parked it for two, three days and now it will not start without chocking up that Air Charge hose. Im really worried....
-
Very understandable, but worrying won't help, pull the air filter and look for things stuffed into the air intake or ice, even a mouse nest can do it.
-
Take the hookup off the front of turbo where it comes from airfilter and see if turbo spins freely.
-
I will do that tomorrow, I mean does anything else come to mind that could possibly cause this? Could it indeed be the turbo or some bigger issue?
-
Will do. I hope it aint a big problem....

The engine would still breathe through the turbo impeller at idle rpm if it was locked up. If someone filled the air intake with water it would freeze in the CAC. Paper/plastic trash stuffed into the intake piping would stop air flow to the engine.
