What you need to know

Read the pump label and confirm VIN before buying a pressure hose. Diagnose reservoir seams/cap, suction hose, pressure crimp, rack-to-cooler line, cooler loop and rack boots. The reservoir contains a service filter but replacement is not proof that it caused the leak.

OEM numbers

Checked references include reservoir-to-pump 32411095526 or 32416750155pump-to-rack 32416764725 or 32416774215 by pumprack-to-cooler 32416796367cooler-to-reservoir 32416796390, which supersedes 32411094951. Reservoir/filter 32416851217 is separate.

Supersession

32411094951 -> 32416796390 is supported for the cooler-to-reservoir hose. Other numbers are application alternatives, not one interchangeable chain.

Fitment

Read the pump label and confirm VIN before buying a pressure hose. Diagnose reservoir seams/cap, suction hose, pressure crimp, rack-to-cooler line, cooler loop and rack boots. The reservoir contains a service filter but replacement is not proof that it caused the leak.

Aftermarket options

OEM-style individual hoses, complete model/pump-specific hose kits and track-oriented cooler conversions exist. A cooler kit designed to connect to another vendor system is not a stock replacement.

Before you buy

Confirm pump type, drivetrain, production date and VIN. The reservoir, supply hose, pressure hose, return/cooler lines and rack seals are separate leak paths. Cart or ship-time language is not guaranteed inventory; tax and shipping were not checked.
