Enjoy this DIY thread for the replacement of ALL you rubber hose's for the 4.0L engine (coolant, vacuum, EVAP, PCV, oil cooler, heater, ect...). There are a few other parts too: thermostat, PCV valve, brake booster check valve, EVAP test port, fan clutch, radiator cap, overflow tank cap.
In the pictures you will see the actual part on the truck (pointed to with a red pointer). The following picture will show you the Nissan part, including part number of the hose and hose clamps. If no hose clamps are shown, I had to reuse the old clamps.
FYI, per the factory service manual, the ONLY hose clamps that are "required" to be replaced after every removal is the brake booster vacuum hose clamps (qty 2). I just replaced all of them because they are almost 10 years old.

TIP, I used a razor blade to cut each hose at each fitting, since I was replacing them anyways. The old hoses are really stuck on there fittings, so this TIP will save you valuable time and energy!
Thank you,
