Dryer vent flex tubing. The plastic one not the aluminum wrapped one. This is a VERY common problem and ALL vans that come in here for a check up get a check to see if that tube is good or bad. The dryer vent tubing, 4" on, is a perfect cheap repalcement. Been doing this for years. You can also use the one from a Syncro as it is plastic flex tubing but is now OBS so you need to find a wrecked Syncro to steal one from and you will need the ends that interface with the ports on the 2 WD also as it will not work with the ends on the 2WD models.
