The one Moparbubba is showing are factory cummins breathers off of ag and construction motor apps. Very nice but pricey!

im trying to come up with a setup like this myself. but have a question about how many valve covers to relieve. do i need to vent them all or will 1 or 2 be fine? also what about a breather on the filler tube?

thanks in advance im new to these trucks and had a bad experience with my last diesel, 6.0... so i trying to do all i can to make this one run as good as possible
