Well now I'm really worried, regarding these engines getting dusted.

When I was looking at it to buy
it I just figured the truck must of worked in a really dirty environment.

.
are all those intake connections plastic?.

I remember a long time ago that petes had a plastic connection elbow to the turbo, and then a TSB recall for it cracking after a few years,.. dusting out engines, and them having an upgraded rubber replacement elbow to prevent it.

Yes those are plastic, I inspected them yesterday, don't look cracked , this is a 2019 international LT.

Well damn, I have an 18 LT so I'm sure it's the same way. Guess I'm going to have to see is there is an upgrade. I run back and forth on farm roads, so dust is a huge issue. Def do not need it getting through!

I called International and no they don't offer those parts in rubber, just hard plastic.

Same here. Parts had no info....Asked for the service dept to see if they've had any related issues and guy acted as if I spoke mandarin when explaining why I was searching for a potential upgrade. Unfortunately that's about what I expected out of them.
