Not all breathers are the same size. When i did mine, i oiled the filter before i tested it, and it didnt fit, but luckily i had one sitting around that did fit, can i get a diff. size rubber gromet at the parts store? Its too big for the grommet, but too small when the grommet is out.

sorry to hi jack the thread, but chizzle, i see you have the same year as me. did you switch the sides that your breather and pcv are in ? i could swear my pcv was on the driver side, and breather was on pass. side.but i could be wrong, i havent seen my engine assembled in over a year. would it make a difference that mine's a 5.9? does it even matter which side there on?

it shoudn't matter which side they are on, hell you can stick breathers on both rocker arm covers, but you won't pass a visual inspection (if the inspectors know what they are looking for).
I have seen other trucks the same year with the same motor and they would be setup the opposite of mine.
The 5.2 and 5.9 share a LOT of sensors, fuel, exhaust, & accessories, so motor size should not dictate the location of smog equipment.
Their is no benefit, other than the cosmetic "that looks cool" factor to replacing the PCV setup with a breather.
it wont affect performance/ reliability of engine in anyway to put a open breather on both sides? i dont have to worry about inspections, theyre is no emmisions testing in the north woods of wisconsin. so everyone who wants to build theyre car/truck justs register it in a nothern county.
no effect on reliabilit or performance, in fact the breather will reduce the oil film buildup on the inside of the manifold by eliminating the source (the PCV & tube going to the intake).
damn you guys are awesome... thanks a lot i am getting one this weekend i really want a mopar one but that'll have to wait for a little more money.. and a quick question... how does the JET chips work? and will it work with super chips?

I don't think you can use them together.
I'm not a big fan of piggy back programmers, a PCM flash will net you more gains all day long for about the same price.
Several people have tried using the Hypertech PP III and had a lot of problems with spark knock and generally running shitty.
The one benefit of a programmer is you can fiddle with things like tire size changes.
are you sure jet even makes a chip for our trucks, when i first started looking into building the 408( and before i found this site and you helpful folks) i called summit about a chip, they gave me jet's # to get a custom burned chip and they told me they dont offer one for rams.
why would you eliminate the pcv valve? they don't hinder performance. they help to keep oil vapor(blow-by)from messing up our engine compartments. if you remove it oil vapor will come out of those breathers.
also, i don't believe in cold air intakes or open element air filters, all i've read or seen on the net about them shows they actually take horsepower away. a good k&n drop in would be best.
don't remove the pcv valve. they don't hinder performance, removing it will just make a mess out of your engine compartment caused by oil vapor or blow-by that will spew out of those breathers.
i think you should just buy a drop in k&n filter, and dual exhaust, these alone will make an improvement. also slide under the truck and pound on the catalytic converter if a rattling can be heard gut it out or replace it, this is a very common problem on these trucks, if it rattles it's only a matter of time before it gets constipated, but be sure to use a muffler if you go with dual exhaust cause it's gonna be loud even with a muffler.
