Funny how I was just questioning the Turbo!!

I was hauling my camper up to VT. this past week and on 91North in VT all of a sudden I hear a big bang and lost all power. I got it off to the breakdown lane on a hill and she was still running, so I got out and popped the hood thinking I was going to see a huge mess. Nope the Turbo hose clamp broke at the turbo and the hose popped off, when it came off it hit the hood and made the loud noise. Now my problem was where to get a clamp to get me off the highway and to a ford dealer. Well I got creative with two normal hose clamps and it got me the rest of the way and then I was able to get the correct clamp (two of them, one for spare). :rant
