The 3.0 V6 Rangers have the same thing. Two small pressed-in small pipes in the top of the intake manifold. They tend to leak, especially if the coolant gets gunked up and deposits nastiness in them. Mine started leaking and I fixed it by simply replacing the old heater hoses with two lengths of generic heater hose and eliminating the T-junctions entirely. Then just get a couple caps to cover the nipple things on the intake manifold. Emissions inspection here has never said anything about them.

Thank you for your comment. Any idea what to do if my nipple thing broke off? Does anyone know of some plug?

Done the same thing to my 302 in my 1990 F-150 and I've gained a decent pit of response time back in my engine just from this. hesitated for a full second before wanting to go on a good day and detonation was horrible with that engine until I did this mod myself. In the future I'm gonna turn that heater system into a inter cooler for summer time.

I believe that's the first time I've seen wire connector crimping pliers use to cut heater hose. Whatever gets the job done I guess. Pvc pipe cutters work well on hoses to.

I just replaced my old radiator cap with a new on, ping gone and .6 mpg better fuel mileage. Not much of an increase, but no ping (detonation) to damage the valves and piston heads. Easy fix. Always suspect this when the ping happens on hot days, and your reservoir for the radiator is dry or low a week after you fill it to the mark.

Have you noted any oxidation inside of the manifold since the mod? And why didn't you just use a coupling tube to connect the two hoses together?

Mine's an 89, I have to replace that entire hose (we do live in places with temp extremes in both summer and winter) and it's looking like I have to pull the oil filter to replace the engine block end of the hose. This sucks 'cause I just did an oil change two days ago before that hose started to fail. The lining of the hose has hardened, is cracking and pinholes started forming in the hose yesterday. I thought it was replaced more recently but that's not one I ever did - might be as much as a decade old.

Cooler intake air helps to stop detonation (also increases hp and mpg) and so does your ECU which listens for detonation through it's detonation sensors installed on your engine block. If it still "pings" you probably have carbon build-up on the tops of your pistons and intake valves...time to pull the head(s) and do some wire brushing.
