Heater Hose on 99 3.0 please help!

[BadRancher]

Im having an issue finding the heater hose for my 99 3.0. It has a t joint where a small separate hose runs to the engine. Ford dealer says they dont show a part for it and I cant find it through AutoZone. Some one help me out. Hose runs from water pump to heater and has a "T" in the middle with a small hose that runs to motor.

That is my thought as well. Heated PCV or throttle body.

I think you used "EFI" wrong.

Maybe so but when it busted it spewed water everywhere. Runs to firewall so I jus guessed it was heater related

Thanks, BadRancher. My '98 has this hose and someday it may fail. I try to learn one new thing each day and today, I did!

Yes, used on the '98-'01 Ranger 3.0l's

And you could install your own "T" and hoses with hose clamps

I also had a problem with one of my heater hoses.The plastic at the T-fitting gets brittle over time and breaks.O-Reilly had a plastic tee to feed the PCV valve(made by Dorman)Don't tighten the clamps too much.JUST SNUG.......DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET BOTH HOSES WITH NO PLASTIC?
