The formed plastic hoses on the engine are not available at parts stores; you have to go to the Dodge dealer parts department. They don't usually cost much, but are not available anywhere else. If you take the car in, they will have an illustration in their parts information system showing all of the hoses; or if you call them and give them the VIN number of your car, they can call it up on the screen and identify which hose you are referring to by description of where it runs to. Taking the car is is much easier; that way if there are any questions the car is right there to check. Stopping in at the parts department is free...

I don't have any really good illustrations of the hoses you are referring to in the repair manuals for the vehicle; I will upload for you what little I have. The dealer parts guys will have the illustrations you need to identify the part numbers of the hoses you need; chances are they will have them in stock if they are a common failure part.
