Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) crank case breather

[Jlobaugh]

I need a little help on where to get a replacement part for the crank case breather. The last oil change I pulled the breather hose off to empty the bottle and saw the nipple for the hose was broke off. This would explain the constant oil mist in that area. How hard is the pice going to be to replace ? the fitting is broke off so the hose does not seal up where it meets the breather.....

Best solution is go to Cummins for a replacement. If that is not possible these guys can get it and are very helpful.

My entire breather assyembly fell off on a recent road trip, The ******* got me for about 65 bucks for the thing

clean and simple

i got rid of the bottle all together, added a barbrd fitting and ran a hose downward. it breathes fine, and it dosnt leak out of the bottle where the fan blad can spray it all over the engine, 15,000 miles and the engine is nice and clean.

5 bucks in parts.

Thanks I will give those guys a call. Its that round thing that the hose fits on the hose doesn't seal up and it puts some mist on the front of the engine. I have to get that fixed before I extend the hose. Has anyone replaced that round part themselves? How does it attach to the engine?

Thanks for the replies!

Here is a solution I did and it completely eliminates the bottle..... or you can still use it if you want... .

That hole thing just twists off. If you use an oil filter wrench and it will come right off.
