I have a 2002 Ford Ranger Edge 3.0L w/ automatic transmission and I have some hoses I just can't seem to find the name for, but that need to be replaced.
The first one goes from the valve cover I believe (right next to where you pour the oil in to the engine) and then it connects to the air intake tube. Basically, top-right portion of this photo:

The next hose is on the right side of the engine bay and goes between I believe the throttle assembly and the Canister Purge Valve:
It's the hose right in the middle of this secondary picture.
Basically the hoses have either portions that are starting to dry rot or are almost completely all dry rotted. I'm pretty good at searching for parts online, but I keep coming up empty on what these are called and where I can get them. They are functioning now, but I am trying to do some preventative maintenance. Any help in identifying these would be MOST appreciated.
Thanks for the feedback @kenhigg and @beaterpc, I was able to replace the PCV hose on the first on with the associated part, however, it was just a bit short. It was an easy fix as I had a hose to connect to into my intake tube, so it all worked out with no issues. I haven't replaced the second one yet, however I appreciate getting the provided specifications for your fix, @beaterpc, as it gives me something to work with. I've scoured the various OEM replacement websites / stores and can't seem to find that particular hose but good to know there is a simpler fix. Now I need to snap some pictures of what is fixed to share.
Regarding the second hose, here is a better picture of where it connects:
Another view of where this hose connects from the intake assembly to the Vapor Canister Valve right behind the battery on driver side of engine bay.
