looked into my pcv valve and apparently its not meant to be replaced. its not in a rubber grommet like most, it appears pressed into my valve cover. and while i was at the local auto parts store i looked up the replacement part and it said N/R meaning "not required". i guess it is the fixed orifice type, and they are not supposed to go bad. Does anyone know if they do go bad anyway? and to get back to you, i really don't drive my truck hard. I hardly tow anything and use the 4wd occasionally. thank you and i really appreciate the help and responses.
