so i found the T thats needed, it is not brass. i will have to order it online. the hard plastic will be a temp fix.
however, while disconnecting the old T 2 other hoses disconnected.
i have 2 small thin hoses disconnected and 1 large hose disconnected.
one of the small hoses connects to the top of the T, but im unsure of the others.
i have pics. ill load them now.

typically the hoses will only reach the place they'll connect. hook them to the port at the end of the range of motion and if it's wrong (runs dramatically different) then switch them

its the larger hose i seem to be having issues with. i cant find where it connects. it comes from the top rear middle of the block.
the 2 smaller ones are pretty much the same length. one to the T and the other goes above the T but connects to the block.

the top pic had a hose, a small hose, connected using a clamp.
the 2nd pic shows both small hoses.
the 3rd is a pic of the larger hose coming from the top of the block and connects somewhere underneath.

This.
Also, some of them may just be ventilation lines for the tranny

First pic is for pvc valve. Goes to top of valve cover. Second pic is either a vent or a vacuum line. With it running, is the line pulling a vacuum?

you gotta trace those 2 smaller lines back and see their origin.
running the vehicle and putting your thumb on them is also a good idea. if it is pulling vacuum they need to be connected to something.
the valve cover should be easy to spot, its underneath the plenum. you can see it without removing anything.

The pcv hose does pull a vac but it looks like it connects to a valve which i cant get to without taking a bunch of shit together.
Im taking it to a shop tomorrow.

Stop being a dumbass. Here, let a girl show you:
Look for your master cylinder and reservoir (where your brake fluid goes). To the left of that. And buy the damn manual. If you're driving around in a 13 year old ranger, your going to want to know how to fix it. Chilton manual is superior, but often in parts stores only the Haynes is available.
