aFe 50-70076D is the Momentum GT Pro DRY S intake for qualified Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator 3.0L twin-turbo V6 applications. It supplies two three-layer oil-free synthetic filters, separate driver/passenger XLPE tubes and one XLPE sight-window housing. Installation retains the original lower passenger intake tube, IAT sensor, mounting isolators and inlet scoop. Check the actual CCV connector and pressure-sensor arrangement before removal: some configurations require an additional dealer-supplied replacement tube.
Every saved row requires the actual 3.0L twin-turbo V6 and matching CCV, IAT, bypass and vacuum connections. The exact shared manufacturer manual lists Explorer ST/Platinum 2020-2026, King Ranch 2021-2024, non-U.S. Explorer PHEV 2020-2024, Aviator 2020-2026 and Aviator G/T PHEV 2020-2023. Exact selected-part tables corroborate the named Aviator and Explorer rows, including hybrid Grand Touring/Black Label Grand Touring through 2023 and Aviator Black Label/Livery/Premiere/Reserve through 2026. The Aviator Base endpoint remains 2023. However Ford's official 2026 order guide expressly deletes the 3.0L engine from Platinum: the positive manufacturer/retailer 2026 Platinum range is a recorded engine/source conflict and is withheld from saved application coverage, with Platinum ending 2025. This is not a measured physical-incompatibility finding. Exact selected-part tables plus Ford's Tremor powertrain matrix support the genuine Tremor 2026 named row only when equipped with its optional 3.0L V6; its standard 2.3L four-cylinder is not covered. Non-U.S. Explorer PHEV is documented in the manual but no invented engine/hybrid pseudo-trim or unsupported named group is created.

Only the two selected-media filters are supplied, not four filters. Paired service references end in M; they do not change the original individual filter identities printed in the bill. Filter-flange clamps are described separately from the four itemized coupling clamps. The bill supplies no new IAT sensor, MAF, sensor screws, mounting nut, brace bolts or original lower passenger tube. Reuse the original housing metal sleeve/isolator, vehicle-side isolators, mounting nut, inlet scoop and strut brace with four original screws. Do not substitute the plain supplied crankcase hose for a pressure-sensor tube: the manual requires a new dealer tube when permanent intake-side connector(s) and a crankcase pressure sensor are present.
aFe Power develops application-specific intake, filtration, exhaust, cooling, tuning, suspension, drivetrain, and truck-performance components supported by product testing and documented installation requirements.
Two selected Pro DRY S filters, two XLPE tubes, one housing, two silicone couplings, four itemized coupling clamps, vent/CCV/IAT fittings and grommets, tie, specified crankcase hose and two configuration-specific plugs.
Are the filters oiled?No. Each selected filter has three synthetic layers and is serviced without oil.
Does this cover every 2026 Platinum or Tremor?No. Ford deletes Platinum's 3.0L engine for 2026, creating a recorded source conflict with the intake manual and retailer positives. Saved Platinum coverage ends 2025. Tremor requires its optional 3.0L V6, not standard 2.3L.
Can the supplied CCV hose replace a pressure-sensor tube?Not in the permanent-connector pressure-sensor branch. The manual requires a new dealer tube for that configuration. Inspect the original line before cutting or discarding it.
Which IAT sensor position matters?Transfer the original IAT into the passenger tube using the supplied adaptor/grommet. Its mounting tab points toward the tube opening; route and secure its harness with the push-mount tie.
When are the two plugs used?The manual specifies the 1/8-inch NPT plug instead of the small vent fitting for 2025 vehicles. Use the larger bypass-port plug only when no bypass valve is fitted. Do not assume an unprinted later-year configuration.
Are marked gains peak-torque gains?No. Selected marked-point differences are 14.55 hp and 16.63 lb-ft; differences between maxima are 14.73 hp and minus 2.63 lb-ft. The dated test configuration limits generalization.
Which original parts and checks are required?Retain the lower passenger tube, scoop, housing sleeve/isolators/nut, applicable hoses and strut brace with original screws. No numeric torque or battery step is given; recheck connections after 100-200 miles.
Verify aFe 50-70076D. Read all twenty-four pages and figures A-R, especially the CCV notes before cutting anything. Work with a cool engine and keep debris out of both turbo paths. Remove the four original brace screws and strut brace. Remove the passenger upper tube from the housing and retained lower tube. Release driver-side wastegate, intercooler if equipped, and EVAP quick connections; move the hose aside. Inspect the CCV line before removing it. A permanent intake-side connector must be cut for removal and replaced using the specified hose branch; a pressure-sensor line with permanent connector(s) requires a new dealer-supplied tube. Disconnect the bypass hose if equipped and remove the driver tube. Disconnect IAT, move the harness, remove the original cover/filter, move aside the scoop, save the housing nut and lift out the housing. Restore any displaced vehicle isolators to their brackets and transfer the original housing metal sleeve and isolator. Seat the new housing fully through its isolators and stud; fit the saved nut from inside and attach the original scoop. Lock both filters into the housing with clamps loose. Transfer the IAT to the passenger tube using the supplied grommet and adaptor; point its mounting tab toward the tube opening. Install the straight coupling on the retained lower passenger tube in the illustrated orientation with two #044 clamps, then install the new passenger tube coupling end first and filter end second. Route the IAT harness neatly and secure it in the core-support hole with the supplied push-mount tie. Seat the thicker inner bead of the CCV fitting grommet between the fitting flats, logo side flat, then seat the assembly fully in the driver tube. Install large and small threaded vent fittings without overtightening; exposed threads remain normal. For the manual's 2025 vehicles use the supplied 1/8-inch NPT plug instead of the small fitting. Fit the driver reducer with #044 at the tube and #032 at the turbo end. Plug the bypass port only if the vehicle has no bypass valve. Install driver tube turbo end first, then filter end; restore the bypass hose and original clamp if equipped. Reconnect the appropriate retained/replacement CCV tube, wastegate, intercooler and EVAP lines. Restore the strut brace and its original screws. Verify all connections and clearance. No battery-disconnection step or numeric torque is supplied; recheck after 100-200 miles.
Both exact current selected product pages and byte-identical own 24-page manuals, complete bill and figures A-R were read and viewed. Current source images and service dimensions describe two 6-inch filters, not a generic single 7-1/2-inch filter from unrelated retailer prose. Ford's 2026 guide pages 1 and 17 were visually inspected: it deletes Platinum 3.0L and identifies Tremor's standard 2.3L versus optional 3.0L engine. That contradicts the exact intake manual/retailer Platinum 2026 positive; this later year is withheld pending source reconciliation, without a physical-fit test claim. Tremor coverage is explicitly limited to actual 3.0L configuration. The primary flow chart shows oiled 375, dry 355 and stock 295 CFM at seven inches H2O. Selected increase is 20.34%, rounded to 20%. The selected dyno marks 321.63 versus 307.08 hp and 367.25 versus 350.62 lb-ft at 4600 rpm: differences of 14.55 hp and 16.63 lb-ft. Maxima are 324.85 versus 310.12 hp and 387.93 versus 390.56 lb-ft, differences of 14.73 hp and minus 2.63 lb-ft. The 2021 Explorer ST selected run is June 30, 2021 at 7:40:33 AM versus June 24 baseline at 12:23:14 PM, both SAE 1.02, Dynojet 424xLC Linx, software-defined RPM, original exhaust/wheels/tires, sixth gear from 2000 rpm, Track Mode, red fans and silver fan. Intake notes say plug in; full weather and hood configuration are not printed. These separate-date conditional results do not guarantee gains or turn marked points into peak-torque improvements. Non-CARB status and California restriction apply.
