Have a 94 ranger and I want to put a cold air intake in but I don't know what to do with the vacuum hoses any one out there know what to do
 
First you need a sig telling us which engine you have. Second, Cold air intakes dont really do anything, so save your money
 
Ah, okay. There should only be one hose then. What intake were you looking at? On mine, it has a rubber sleeve with hose clamps that attaches to a nip on the intake tube.
 
They're good intakes, but AEM (which is a sister of K&N) has a dry-flow filter. No oils needed. I have the Brute Force in mine. I'll snap a few pics if you don't mind waiting a sec
 
I had the same hoses on my 93, but no CAI. I did some research on it just now. Everyone pretty much says do not do it for the fact of it sucking in hot air from the engine. The one person I saw do it, just plugged up the hoses, and I dont recommend that. Take a look at this link

K&N's are good intakes/filters. Only issue I had was when I had my RX-8 and the compression issue came up and they tried to blame it on my K&N. Saying it sucked oil through and messed up my MAF. Wanted me to pay for a new $400 MAF and filter...

CAI's don't do anything by themselves. In order to take full advantage of your CAI, you want to get a new exhaust and then get a tuner and get a custom tune for the your exhaust and CAI. Also adding/changing other engine components will. help. But I agree with Clinton, save your money because by the time you've got everything you need, you've spent a boat load of money.

Also, CAI's don't work well on our trucks because of the way they are set up. Where the air comes in takes on heat from the engine, which defeats the purpose.
