Default Help!

Hello! My first post in this awesome forum. I have 2.8 97 with a broken breather hose. The part number is 078103221t, its pretty pricey, average of $100 for a piece of plastic. Is there a cheaper way to fix my problem by just replacing plastic with a regular hose?

If that's the corrugated PCV tube across the front of the engine, just tape it with electrical tape and it'll be fine.

Heater hose. Simple cheap fix. Or if your Oem only type of person I just took my entire breather system out I'll cut you a deal.
