Well I didn't know about how brittle those intake hoses end up getting and wound up cracking probably 2/3s around one of the flex ribs. I'm going to order one asap tomorrow, but can i limp along with a ducttape special fix for the time being?

Any leaks in this area will cause a very rough idle.
As long as you do a good job with duct tape it should work well for a few days.

I did the same thing to mine over the weekend. I cleaned it up with iso alcohol and a scotch brite pad. Then I used aluminum tape and used a bondo spreader to apply it. No rough idle and no codes after 75 miles. Not to say that it is a permanent fix, just saying that it can work.

I used the foil tape used to seal duct work.
Ran it a couple of months like that no problems
X2 must be sealed good

I used duct tape on mine as well. It held for a good month before i replaced the intake with a new one.
Bought mine with a cracked intake hose that had been "repaired" with gorilla tape... had me throwing codes.
Local junk yard let me have a serviceable one for free. That was going to be my temporary fix until I could order a new one, but I've been in the clear for a few thousand miles now.
Duct tape will work, but a quick trip to the pull a part (if accessible) might be a decent solution too.

Any tape that'll hold within temps for the engine bay should be good.
I would use Rescue Tape personally. (not affliated, but I did wrap my PHH with great success until I was able to replace several months later.)

Had a crack in mine, Gorilla taped it 2 years ago, still running fine with no problems, and no codes. Used a whole roll of tape over the whole thing.

Lesson is to remove intake hose and Air filter cover as one unit, you are asking for trouble otherwise.
Never leave this to a grease monkey because they will take the easy route and bend the intake which then causes cracks.

Shoe Goo (for shoe sole repair) is a great, tough repair material for this. You can find it at sporting good stores.

Careful what you use does not break down and get sucked in.
Add something like stainless steel gauze(mesh) to act as a binder.

Come and take it
I replaced mine as well. Duct tape will hold for a bit do it. If it idles crappy you didn't seal it
I just use the shielded coupling from homedepot, i just cut it off where is broken, and put on the rubber gasket and the metal shielded on it, works fine for the last 5 years no code, run great. It only cost $4, i can't remember what size it was, is be so long.
HERE is the link for the parts

I've found that several layers of electrical tape works better that duct tape.
It stretches a provides a good seal. I've run a repaired intake for several weeks without incident.
Get a new one ordered, you will need it.

Yea use something that wont fall off and get sucked in ...duct tape isnt to good with the heat
A new one is a good pm. There are probably cracks you cant see and its probably as old as the rig
