The first time I went, i talked to a new guy, who was clueless and the next time to the parts manager. The manager found it on a diagram and found had part number. Then he looked into and said he could not get it and told me to go to Vintageparts.com. I could not even find this site. Guess I might have to take a day and travel out of the area to get some help. By the way the company is Egglefield Ford. I am truely am amazed, I see between 5 and 10 of these trucks every day and they are only 9 years old! WOW

--john, there are some old and not regularly needed parts that are eventually disscontinued. There are some parts that are rarely replaced like your pipe that are just not stocked by most dealers. You need to find out which. If it is not stocked he can order it. If it is disscontinued he has the ability to use his locator service to find out if any dealers in the nation have that part number in their inventory. Just because a part is disscontinued does not mean its not available. It may be sitting on a shelf somewhere waiting to be bought by you.
If neither works maybee visit a junk yard. If you really get in a bind duplicate it with thin wall pipe stock but to be honest it sounds like far more work than its worth.
Hope it helps.

pipe
heres my lame suggestion, can you not repair that pipe by cutting off the rusted part, and attaching a new peice, or using a piece of rubber hose, I'm thinking if its a hard part to get it might be quite pricy just brain storming

There will be many consequences of this trend, all of the money and control goes to just a few corporations.

I hadn't considered trying to fix the tube. I am going to try that. I see that trend among large retailers and hate it. I won't shop at Wal-Mart. However, i am not sure that this is the case with these dealerships. i think they only own 2 or 3. Anyway-jon

Quik silver is something like J-B Weld Works awesome. Your local NAPA should carry it right beside the till. Have you tried the wreckin yards they just might have a good set of lines sittin there.

Unfortunately, not everyone is as enthusiastic about older trucks like we are. Most auto parts stores have or can get a section of high temp (neoprene?) line specifically made for repairing the tube that supplies air to the catalytic converter. I've used heater hose before - it lasts longer than you think! Inside the cat is very hot - the tube on the outside carries relatively cool air in. I wouldn't suggest it if I hadn't done it myself!

On my 95, 5.8l it is a tube that runs from the O2 pump to the throttle body. there is another tube that it attached to it that run from the top of the engine down behind it next to the firewall. i will post a pic later. Anyone know what this is or where i could get one? thanks-jon 
Try this link for lower cost parts. My 5.8l Bronco CAT air inj. air tube was $65 at the dealership, it was only $25 at this web site: http://www.pciinc.com/onlinecat.cfm
Good Luck,
