[aiezzi]

hey guys no to long ago i bl my truck and when i was in the process i cracked a tube that runs coolant the the upper intake. i wanna know its replaceable or will i need a new upper intake. not my intake but thats the tube

Not replaceable but you don't need it hooked up. That's for preheating the intake air with coolant. Many people bypass those altogether to help with pinging. Old 3.0's don't even have them, shouldn't be an issue with bypassing. Otherwise, yes, you have to replace the entire new upper intake.
