Hoses

Today a driver came in saying that he is losing power when going up a hill. Turns out the air to air hose had a hole in it. The reason he is losing all power is because the air coming from the turbo is coming out of the hose. The driver is very lucky he caught that before it got way worse and that he was local. Also the other day I had a truck lose all its coolant and the driver had no clue because the sensor in the coolant tank had been taken out by someone driving the truck before him... I noticed something wrong due to all the smoke coming from the exhaust and puddle of coolant. Turns out the egr hose had a huge chunk missing out of it. I replaced both hoses by loosening the egr tank. Having little to no coolant in the truck might be the end of it. It smokes very bad constantly and runs at about 15 hundred rpm constantly. I don't yet know what the damage is but tomorrow we will further investigate. I learned that as a driver always do a pretrip if that driver had looked at his coolant level or notice that someone had taken the sensor out of the tank maybe that truck wouldn't have had all these other problems now. Here are some pictures....
