Default PCV System with Truck Valley cover?

I have a 6.0 with the LS3 intake. The truck valley cover has no ports for the PCV system. The truck intake has a PCV valve built in i think. How can I get a working sealed PCV system without changing the valley cover?

The trucks PCV is in the valve cover. you could tee into the brake booster line. But I would just swap valley covers.

I have am using 2005 truck valve covers and there is no PCV valve in the covers. Only a tube coming out of each valve cover.

You could easily run an inline PCV valve from one of those ports on your valve covers. Just because the valve doesnt fit in is no big deal just get creative.

Either that or drill out the plug on the truck valley cover and JB weld a tube in there to hook up to.

Either way no big deal and only a few bucks to remedy

They don't have a "PCV valve" per-say its basically the baffling in the cover on the divers side. Then just a tube form the outlet to the intake and no valve.
