What This Hose Actually Is
It's a hump-style connector, not a straight coupler - the middle bulges out to take up slack and flex where the intercooler piping shifts on its mounts. The three stainless steel wire rings inside the silicone wall keep the hose from going oval or sucking flat under vacuum, which is what kills the cheap all-rubber versions in about a year.
Freightliner uses this shape and size on a good chunk of Cascadia and Columbia CAC routing, Volvo runs it in similar spots on VN and VNL charge air lines, and it shows up on some Kenworth T660/T680 setups too. Silicone handles the heat cycling off the turbo side better than straight rubber, and 4" ID is a common CAC pipe diameter across all three makes - that's exactly why one hose part-numbers across three OEMs.
Why the Numbers Cross and What to Check
0116541005 is the reference number tying this together, and it lines up with Freightliner's own FRE1020 0001 and the aftermarket FRE1020001 - same physical part, different paperwork. Kenworth's F02483S352 is their catalog number for the identical hump size and ring count when it's used in their CAC circuit.
What you need to verify before you order: ID (4"), overall length (6.5"), and that your application actually uses a hump shape and not a straight or 90-degree elbow at that spot. Truck-to-truck, engine packages change routing - a Cascadia with a DD15 doesn't always route CAC pipe the same as one with a DD13, so pipe length and bend can differ even within the same nameplate.
Surest way to confirm: pull the old hose and check the length between clamp bands plus the ID stamped or molded on it, or just give us the VIN and we'll match it against the build sheet before it ships.
Ordering From PartStop
We keep this one in stock at the Tacoma counter - if you're local and it's before our cutoff, it goes out same day. Nationwide we ship it same-day or next-day depending on carrier pickup, which matters when a truck's sitting with a boost leak instead of running a route.
Comes with our standard 6+ month warranty. If it doesn't fit once you've got it in hand, call us before you cut it - we'd rather sort it over the phone than have you working with a hose that's already trimmed.

Frequently asked questions
Does 0116541005 fit my Kenworth T680?
Depends on the CAC routing on your specific build - Kenworth's own number for this same hose is F02483S352, and it's used on a lot of T680/T660 charge air setups, but not universally. Check the ID and length against your old hose, or send us the VIN and we'll verify before it ships.
Is this the same as the Freightliner FRE1020 0001?
Yes - that's Freightliner's OEM number for this identical hump hose, same 4" ID, same 6.5" length, same three-ring construction. The aftermarket FRE1020001 crosses to it as well. We're not selling you the Freightliner-branded part, just the direct replacement that matches its specs.
How do I know if I need a hump hose versus a straight coupler here?
Look at the old part - if it's got a bulge in the middle instead of running straight or bent, it's a hump style, and that shape matters for fit even when the ID matches. If you're not sure, snap a photo of what's coming out and we can match it up before you order the wrong shape.
