Best to remove the intake pipes from the head. If you have A/C and  your
leaking hose is on the left side, it's a bit more work because you need to
remove the compressor.  Just unbolt it and move it out of the way.  Van Caf�
has the hoses:
http://www.van-cafe.com/page_423_577/intake-manifold-hose-p423   Replace
them all if you want to do this right and the intake manifold gaskets too:
http://www.van-cafe.com/page_425_135/intake-manifold-gasket-p425  Or, if
yours are good, you can re-use them, but I'd spray new or used with Copper
Coat or similar sealant.

I have a set of those hoses I'll never use, $20 + $6.25 postage in the US.
Pmail me if you want them.

Subject: Leaking plenum hose

I was doing my before trip inspection and It turns out I have a leaking
plenum hose. Its one of the 4 braided hose that connects to the sides of the
plenum. Is there an easy way to replace these?

Thanks,
Bryan
