Riffraff Diesel Turbo Inlet Hose for 1999-2003 7.3 Powerstroke Econoline
Sep 4th 2026
The 7.3 Powerstroke Econoline turbo inlet hose is specific to the van only. The E-Series intake layout is different from an F-Series truck, and the hose shape is different too. Riffraff’s replacement hose fits 1999-2004 7.3L Powerstroke Econoline vans and replaces the worn factory boot from the turbo to the crankcase vent adapter in the intake tract.

Why replace it?
The factory hose lives around heat, oil vapor, crankcase fumes, vibration, and age. Once it gets soft, cracked, oil-soaked, or loose at the connection points, it can create unmetered air leaks (with potential running issues), oily residue, poor sealing, and a general mess in the engine bay.
This Riffraff Econoline turbo inlet hose is built as an exact factory replacement, specifically for the Econoline Van application and not a modified truck part. The Riffraff Econoline inlet hose replaces the original Ford part number XC2Z-9C681-BA, while a common 1999-2003 F-Series turbo inlet air hose uses F81Z-9C681-BA, for trucks built after 12/7/98. Different chassis, different routing, different part.

Install

Bottom line: If you’re searching for a 7.3 Powerstroke Econoline turbo inlet hose, E-Series 7.3 intake boot, or XC2Z-9C681-BA replacement, the Riffraff Diesel RDP-XC2Z9C681BA is the correct van-specific hose built for heat, oil vapor, and factory-style fitment.
