broken intake manifold

i have a 2000 ranger and on the intake manifold theres 2 little steel tubes that run coolant to and away from the intake. now both of these corroded near the spot where they go into intake and i went to dealership and tehy had no clue what i was talkin bout. so i jb welded them and they were fine. until now 2 yrs later they broka again. so do they have a way to replace or fix these tubes or do i still have to buy a whole new intake manifold to get those parts. how stupid is it to press 2 steel corrosive parts into an aluminum cast that wont corrode? any help would be appreciated. thank you

That line is only to stop throttle body ice, if you live in a warm climate you can bypass it.

Are u sure? just for ice? its pressurized and everything itll just spray all the radiator fluid out. where does ice in throttle body come from? especially enuff to need to be heated by rad lines ? why cant i jus bypass them anyway?

Thats the only reason I know. You can make a U turn out of copper tube to bypass the intake manifold.
