Default vacuum hoses

I have the 2002 durango with the 4.7. Anyone know what size the vacuum hoses are and how much (length) I need to replace all the lines? I have the kit coming with the arc'd hoses and a new purge solenoid. Just need to know what size hose I need before I go dismantling everything, and thought maybe someone might have an idea? Thanks

on chryslers some times they print the size on the hose. just get some cleaner and wipe off the hose, you might get lucky. allso some times you only need to cut a inch or two off the end, and put it back on. some parts houses are well stocked, and know the hoses. i do know that in the old days the fuel hose for the old carbs, was ratted for fuel, AND full vacuum. i think the number to look for is R7, this is the old carbs. you can look up hose ratings on the internet.

It turned out that I didn't need new hoses, all I needed to do was replace the Purge Solenoid!

I have a Haynes manual for the truck that makes a excellent bookshelf filler...
