again, after going over everything during the timing chain replacement, i noticed that all the hoses on the intake were like brittle plastic and starting to crack. i ordered the boot for the throttle body but these accessory hoses (yellow) are no longer available. are most people just pulling these off and putting a filter on the resonator by the engine? just replace the hose with heater hose etc? i'm assuming the plastic part thats integrated with the air intake track just pops out? I didn't want to force it, again, fearing it would break everything. thanks

So, do you scrub your engine with a toothbrush? That is a mighty clean engine you have there.
No clue on your question. My truck doesn't have it. I would run generic hose.

I just capped mine off at the air box and where ever the other one goes.

yeah, every time i put a new hose, belt or gasket on i wipe some of the grime off..... before too long i'm going to have the newest old truck out there 
interesting on those hoses - had a hard time even finding them on the parts diagrams etc and most of the trucks i see don't have them. i'll figure something out and post back. thanks for the info

My truck has them. Maybe check at wreckers until you find an extra intake in good shape. I have everything from the Maf to the throttle body.

i looked at all the options and decided to replace the hose - the most compliant as well as the cheapest ($1.23/foot for 3/4" heater hose). even has the white stripe to line up with the arrows
