Plastic tubes/hoses

Any ideas as to what these three red/green and white plastic hoses are and what they are called and where to buy or replace them?

Is that a fuel pressure regulator they are connected to? They might be vacuum lines. Can you trace them out? What year and engine do you have? There a lots of illustrations of these systems on line but the exact application is needed or you'll be looking for days.

the are vacuum hoses... there should be a drawing on the radiator cover that shows the diagram.. You can use HOSES or small TUBES from auto store to replace.

Yea they only have 450,000 miles on them so I think I will replace them. I'm assuming I can just PULL them apart?
They feel like a hard plastic and probably will fail once I start pulling.

If they aren't leaking and aren't brittle I would leave them......

That looks very similar to the vacuum solenoid for the front wheel drive that I just replaced on my four wheel drive F150. It's in a different location though. Is your truck 4 wheel drive?

4x4
They are hard and probably brittle and feel rough at some spots. I have to move them out of the way every time I clean my throttle body and components and cause concern each time. Hate to be in the middle of nowhere and have these kind of parts fail when it SO easy to replace them at my pleasure.
I'll research to see if they are 4x4 vacuum lines.
