OE PCV Hose Is Disontinued - Is there an aftermarket equivalent?
2000 Grand Caravan 3.3
I'm helping this lady with free labor because she's broke. There's a hose which runs from the intake manifold close to the throttle body and then goes under the intake to the passenger side and connects to the rear bank valve cover. Dodge parts counter guy says it's a "Purge Control Valve Hose" for the PCV valve (Mopar part #0528-1371 which is discontinued).
Whoever last worked on this vehicle put a generic bulk hose on there. It's totally kinked and doesn't allow air to flow through. This needs a hose that is molded to shape. Here are some photos I took:

I never got any responses, but for anyone who cares the aftermarket hose (photo above) does work and does the job. It's a Dorman hose which is the only brand I could find. I found reviews online saying it's a bit too short (not long enough) and I'd say yes, if it was about 1/2" longer it would be better, but it does fit and work.

Thanks. I have a 97 Grand Caravan with 3.3L V6 and I'll probably need to replace this hose.
Do you happen to have the Dorman part number for this hose?
I know there are two hoses that go to the valve covers and one of them (the L-shaped one) looks similar but I believe it's different.
