Default 2005 Grand Caravan 3.8L Hose help

Here's the deal: just got done replacing the valve cover gasket on my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT 3.8L, had two hiccups...

1. Just before removing the upper intake manifold, I removed the hoses attached to the right side of it, breaking the "LDP & Speed Control Vacuum Hose," It was pretty brittle and when I pulled it off of the connection it just "snapped" in half.

2. One of the last pieces to put back onto the engine was the "PCV Hose," which craked when pushed back onto the PCV Valve...

Check the attachment for actual piece locations.

So, where do you all recommend I find these parts other than a junk yard, as I do not have time enough for that?

Dodge dealership? Certain websites? I would prefer to buy the actual pieces and not try and fabricate something.

Thanks for your help,

-Chris

Its more than likely a dealer only part. Sometimes the parts stores carry a premolded hose for the pcv system. Personally I would fabricate it.
