Default My intake tube fell off!

Well I was driving home and just pulling into my 'hood and my truck start driving really poor. Bucking, no power, low RPMs, etc. First thing that came to mind is ... great my motor just dropped something and took a **** or my 4L60E just decided to stop working. But I shifted that bitch into Neutral and it still did that so the trans is okay.

I finally get out of the way and pop the hood to take a peep. My intake tube fell off! I didn't put the hose clamp on correctly. So I get a screwdriver from my tool box in the bed and fix it.

I feel like a douche for not installing something properly but eh, all is well now.

I'd figure I should share my adventures of mishap with everyone!

Well it happened to me as my heatshield isn't made to clear the 3/4 radiator. I need to either hack my heatshield to fit better or find a 3/4 heatshield.
