Fitment Details

This part cross-references Ford (e.g., L1MZ 6C646 C) for the same application.

Common Replacement Needs

• Cracked or split turbocharger hose material
• Boost leaks at the intercooler hose connection
• Softening, swelling, or collapse under heat and pressure
• Loss of proper airflow through the charge-air path
• Damaged hose routing that no longer matches the original shape

Confirm the vehicle application and turbocharger hose position match the listed fitment for the Ford Explorer. Part number 29042 should be matched to the OE-style connection points shown in the fitment data.
