aFe 53-10023R is a Quantum intake for specified Ford Transit vans with 3.5L twin-turbo V6 and AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR. It supplies ONE Pro 5R filter with FIVE pre-oiled cotton-gauze layers, XLPE tube and housing. Installation temporarily removes cowl/HVAC-inlet and passenger-side wiper components, which must be restored.
Current exact selected manufacturer page specifies 2016-2026 Transit 150/250/350/350HD with 3.5L twin-turbo V6; own manual states 2016-2020 and AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR ONLY. Exact selected-part retailer tables support later named ranges through 2026, except Transit-150 XL/XLT through 2023. Original 2015 starts remain qualified: exact retailer data and manufacturer dyno vehicle both identify 2015, conflicting with current 2016 headline. Missing Transit-350 Base is restored from exact selected-part table. Confirm actual twin-turbo engine, temperature sensor, vacuum connection and housing interface. Original 2009 Silverado LTZ row has exact selected-part positive retailer listings but conflicts with manufacturer Transit application; it remains an unresolved SOURCE CONFLICT requiring exact engine/housing confirmation, not established physical compatibility. Do not order that disputed application on collection placement alone. No new Chevrolet coverage is inferred.

Does the filter need oil?Yes. Selected filter uses FIVE pre-oiled cotton-gauze layers; use correct Pro 5R cleaning and re-oiling method.
Which sensor-equipped vans are supported?Current exact selected manufacturer page specifies 2016-2026 Transit 150/250/350/350HD with 3.5L twin-turbo V6; own manual states 2016-2020 and AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR ONLY. Exact selected-part retailer tables support later named ranges through 2026, except Transit-150 XL/XLT through 2023. Original 2015 starts remain qualified: exact retailer data and manufacturer dyno vehicle both identify 2015, conflicting with current 2016 headline. Missing Transit-350 Base is restored from exact selected-part table. Confirm actual twin-turbo engine, temperature sensor, vacuum connection and housing interface. Original 2009 Silverado LTZ row has exact selected-part positive retailer listings but conflicts with manufacturer Transit application; it remains an unresolved SOURCE CONFLICT requiring exact engine/housing confirmation, not established physical compatibility. Do not order that disputed application on collection placement alone. No new Chevrolet coverage is inferred.
Must the passenger wiper and HVAC inlet be restored?Yes. Access requires three HVAC-inlet firewall nuts, cowl screw clips/corner, passenger wiper arm and two T25 inlet screws to be removed. Reverse ALL steps 1-6 after installation; keep every original fastening piece.
Which original sensor and hoses remain?Transfer original air-temperature SENSOR with quarter turns. Use supplied sensor grommet/fitting. Reconnect original vacuum HOSE to supplied brass fitting. No new MAF or temperature sensor supplied.
Which tube end installs first?HUMP at OVAL downstream air-inlet end FIRST, then filter bellows. #072 holds bellows on round tube, #080 at filter and TWO #060 hold hump. Retain and secure original scoop and mounting grommets.
Are advertised gains peak-to-peak?Both exact linked images separately viewed print Pro 5R 375 CFM, Pro DRY S 360 CFM and stock 280 CFM at 7 inches H2O. Oiled increase is 33.93%, rounded to 34%; dry is 28.57%, rounded to 29%. Bench-flow percentages are not horsepower gains.

Dates and conditions differ; hood/fan settings and stock-exhaust results are not independently certified.
What torque, battery and recheck instructions apply?Own manual gives no numeric torque or battery-disconnection step. Recheck screws, clamps and connectors after 100-200 miles. Restore all cowl/HVAC/wiper components and sensor/vacuum connections. Non-CARB restriction applies.
Verify aFe 53-10023R. Read all twenty pages and figures A-K. Work cool. Remove THREE firewall nuts supporting HVAC air inlet with 10mm deep socket. Remove TWO cowl-corner screw clips, corner plastic and clip underneath. Remove passenger-side wiper-arm nut with 15mm socket and lift wiper arm. Remove top-right HVAC-inlet screw clip, lift cowl and remove TWO T25 screws retaining inlet. Disconnect temperature sensor, loosen intake-duct clamps with 7mm driver, disconnect vacuum hose and remove duct. Detach original scoop and wiring retainers, release housing-cover clips and remove cover/filter; lift housing off original mounting grommets. Transfer original temperature sensor from cover: quarter-turn COUNTERCLOCKWISE to remove; install supplied grommet/fitting and quarter-turn CLOCKWISE to lock sensor. Fit brass vacuum fitting using 1/2-inch open wrench. Seat new housing pins fully in original mounting grommets and secure ORIGINAL scoop in housing front opening. Attach selected filter with FOUR captive screws using #3 Phillips driver. Fit bellows to ROUND tube side with #072 clamp; #080 goes on larger filter side. Fit hump to OVAL tube side with TWO #060 clamps. Install HUMP/DOWNSTREAM AIR-INLET END FIRST, then bellows to filter; align and tighten. Connect original vacuum hose to brass fitting and reconnect temperature sensor. Reverse ALL steps 1-6 to restore HVAC inlet, cowl corner/clips, screws, three nuts and passenger wiper arm. Check secure installation and routing. No battery-disconnection step, numeric torque, cutting or drilling specified. Recheck screws, clamps and connectors after 100-200 miles.
