Angry OK, what is the thing called on the driver side valve cover that goes up to the...

Breather called. No part store in town knew, nor did I, so we didn't know what to order. My hose is brittle, which they didn't have, and the part in the valve cover has broke off on top. I can make it work for now, but need to know what that is so I can get it replaced. The pcv valve is on the passenger side and appeared to be fine, all though its hose was very stiff and brittle.

The PCV Valve hose is like a really hard plastic to keep it from collapsing.

The breather is the thing on the valve cover and it has a hose that goes to the aircleaner. Does that explain it or are you talking about something else.

valve cover elbow.

if its broken, the rubber grommet is likely hard and brittle and the elbow won't come out of the grommet. mine were like that. i cut them out and bought new grommets, elbow and pcv. i think i had to get the grommets at the dealer. elbow was just a generic piece at autozone.

Are you talking about the 1/4 piece of vacume hose that runs from the throttle body to a 4way elbow on the passenger side ?

Default Thanks zman

that looks like what I need. And yes it won't come out. So I will cut it out. I will order this from the stealership and the hose. Thanks!

It doesn't LOOK like what you need, it is what you need! I just gave you the replacement part #, and the hose is NOT hard plastic. Unless you have to have the factory bends,it can be replaced with fuel line hose. And it's NOT a typical pcv elbow! It is Dodge specific.
