Ive literally been searching for about 5 hours, every site seems to only list other engines or has intake boot/bellows/tube/whatever the synonym for it is as non existent.
Im looking to replace every vacuum hose and cant even find a proper blowout of the parts. Realoem.com is extremely detailed for BMWs, is there an equivalent? Ive exhaustively searched for these simple intake boots, from the intake box/maf to the throttle body, i cant find any of them for the 2.3, it seemingly doesnt exist. Ive checked rockauto, autohausaz, ebay, amazon, among many others and im quite frustrated, i need to replace these ASAP as they are disintegrating. 96 ranger, manual.
Any resources for diagrams with part numbers is appreciated.

Thanks
 
What piece exactly are you looking for?
 
Are you talking about the whole intake to be from air filter box to throttle body? Try LMC truck or you might have to go junk-yarding. Or, build a custom tube. Measure to find out what tube size (inner diameter) you need. Then order parts off eBay. I bought a kit of 3" aluminum tubing with silicon connectors, 90's and 45's with t-bolt clamps for what I thought was an awesome deal. I had to order one extra reducer to connect to my throttle body. Now I have enough extra pieces to do another project. Just lay it out carefully, cut the tubes and clamp it all together.

I thought i attached the image but forgot, not my Ranger, but identical from google images.
Im guessing the middle chamber is just some resonator and can be tossed out.

Ideally id like to keep everything bone stock, the previous owner replaced almost everything except the hoses for some reason.

Thanks again.

Oh, okay. Are you sure they need to be replaced? Those are definitely not a normal maintenance item. A scrap yard may be your best bet.
 
I'd check boneyards and also check for 'ranger' in auto parts section of craigslist. You may find one local being 'parted out', which could have exactly what you need. Some of the smaller yards seem to place listings regularly for vehicles they are currently dismantling.
You may be able to use another product to form the tube. As long as it is sealed AND will flex with the motion of the engine on the mounts, it should not matter. You could also use a piece-parted together system from a boneyard if you cannot find exactly what you need.
