2001 ranger 3.0 v6 flex.......the hose that goes from the valve to the throttle body is getting weak and crustyish...i want to replace it.....can I get just that hose? And if so, theres some type of flat looking connector in the middle of the hose...so I guess its actually two small hoses joined with this spacer/connector...? I didn't examine closely but the flat connector doesn't look like air would pass thru it but I assume it HAS to.........does all that come as one piece? When I search online I don't seem to see the exact match as my hose, or maybe I'm just not seeing things right........why do they have that spacer/connector in there???......from the nipple on the throttle body the hose comes out about 4 inches then turns 90degrees toward the windshield for another 4-5 inches , then a connector, a little more hose, then another 90 in toward the canister, and there may be another connector in the last run I can't remember, but that's it....and it may connect with an elbow at the valve...I only had a minute to look at it, it got dark...I left the truck at work , took the work truck home........can I buy the hose just like that how I mentioned it ? Without any additional stuff? All the related vacuum elbows and small lines are fine....I suppose I could go to auto parts store and view the pics etc but thought I'd run it by here first......anyone have a part number ??? Thank you.....ive glt 325k miles on her, bought it with 220k......my previous 2000 ranger I got with 60k on it and sold it with 525k miles, did every oil change and NEVER let it overheat, guy put a timing chain and new rear end in it, it's still going
