So its not strange to have a little bit of oil in the air box from that hose
A little bit is 'ok'.... More than that though, and you really need to find out why. Under normal circumstances (any other vehicle...) I would suggest just replacing the PCV valve. On these trucks though... that belly pan on the intake adds a monkey wrench or three to the situation.

I was wondering the same... I have that issues as well. I call it my self re-oiling K&N lol. But yeah, fwiw... my filter already captured some oil. I had the jar off a few times (trying to replace the valve at the bottom so I don't have a measurement. Whether anyone thinks it is not necessary for my application, think as you wish. I really do have too much oil going through the PCV valve line. This is a new PCV valve too. Old one did the same thing. The both rattle when you shake them. Oil level is about 75% high in the full safe zone so it isn't overfilled. That just leaves excessive blowby. If the filter helps capture anything, it's worth it to me.
I'm running dual breathers and haven't noticed any issues. Why is it not good to run duals?
PCV system draws a slight vacuum on the crank case, which helps with ring seal, it also keeps the byproducts of combustion out of your oil, reduces emissions too.... but, that's kinda secondary. You actually want that system working properly.

Should I run PCV on both valve covers or am I fine with just one side, if so, which side should I run PCV on?
Only one valve, and it doesn't matter which side. Even dodge swapped sides over the years. PCV has a line to the intake manifold vacuum port. Other side runs into the air cleaner, so it has a source of filtered air. (don't wanna suck crap into the engine....)

Thanks for the input! I'm running a spectre CAI and they supplied parts for the PCV to run from the D/S valve to the intake tube on the P/S but I've already used those hoses for something else. I'll probably run a PCV from the P/S cover directly into the intake. Much appreciated
