Suggestion for diesel trucks with turbos

Was at a red light behind a semi with our Montana. Light turned green and semi was slow so I pressed on the petal to pass and heard a loud bang and thought I had a blow out. The bang was when the rubber type material exploded off the turbo. Had it towed to the closest GM dealership. They couldn't just order the blue rubber stuff and a new clamp. They had to order a whole assembly which was a new clamp, rubber boot that was attached to the metal pipe that went down to the rad. So, $650.00 later I was able to drive away. This happened 25 days after my warranty expired. I complained to my GM dealer and GM agreed to give me $200.00 and the dealership is including a free oil change. I will be writing a letter to GM and asking for more money. I plan on telling them the truck is suppose to be heavy duty and all components in the engine compartment should be able to handle the power the engine puts out. Check your clamps that hold the rubber type material on to the turbo.
