Default New member looking for some help

Hello everyone! I am Joe. Nice to meet you all and finally be apart of the forum. It has helped me out so much, and saved me thousands. I was curious to see if somewhere sells a kit or package with all the vacuum hoses for a dodge ram 1500 2001 5.2. It has 80k on it and runs good. Recently did a plenum gasket repair and new plugs, wires, dist. cap and rotor. I replaced a small, maybe 2 inch rubber hose piece that was up by the ac line. If you are looking at the truck from the front end, standing in front, it's to your left and at the top. It plugs two hard plastic hoses, parts of the eval system, together. I want to change all those hoses that are apart of the eval system due to old age, even if they aren't bad. How do I go about doing this? Thanks for everyones help.

P.S. I had a CEL on, and the code was saying a leak in the evap system, but it went off the other day out of nowhere and I did the turn key 2 times trick to read codes and nothing came up. Only "P done" so I don't know why it isn't still telling me I have the leak. This was before I replaced that little piece of hose. It was all split

i have had and still have the evap leak codes popping up, their endless sometimes ha. as far as replacing some of those hoses, you can pretty much fab a great deal of them yourself. fuel line hose works fine. it would hurt to replace some of it but you should just do a smoke test and see if you can spot a leak, sometimes the evap cel will come on from a bad evap canister or purge solenoid.

Gas cap can cause codes too.

Vac leaks are the most problematic. Also check the line coming off the vb (vac source) mine was cracked and threw a code.
