Heres an unsolicited tip. Keep a can of aerosol hairspray in your truck for a spell after replacing them. I battled slipping boots for a bit on one of my old strokers. I had them replaced as preventative maintenance while other repairs were taking place, not due to failure. After replacement, they would continually blow off when boost started climbing( stock motor). I can't tell you how many hills I was stopped mid climb on. The fix was generally quick and I would clean and tighten the connection as much as I dared. Rinse and repeat next time a steep grade came. Finally had a friend mention hairspray on both surfaces of the connection. Let dry, then slide together. Gave enough tackiness to hold and seal under higher boost, but not enough to be a permanent attachment.
