2004-08 Ford F150 5.4 3V - CHEAP + OEM QUALITY EVAP Purge Valve Solenoid Hose Replacement

I'm big on preventative maintenance. I had noticed the hose going to the EVAP purge solenoid on my '04 was getting a bit dried out. Cracked, dried-out hoses are never a good thing. Engine heat tends to dry out rubber and lead to rough idle, lean codes, and other drivability issues as the hoses break down.

3/8" ID Gates fuel/EVAP hose off Amazon and some 5/8" OD Clamps and we are all new again.

The barbs just slide into the hose and I clamped the OEM intake manifold clip to the new hose. Just like factory.

A lot of these hoses are now discontinued but glad this is all easily made yourself.
