Looks like a small gas cap. They can be cleaned, rather than replaced. Brake cleaner and a toothbrush. My '03 will roll up 100K in a month or so.

^^^Good idea especially since it's a dealer part and you know how the stealership is. Only frickin dodge would make a pcv valve a dealer part..amazes me.
