The parts manager, who is very knowledgeable and helpful, actually told me about the mod this morning. I told him that I had done it 2 years prior. Still, very glad to hear good advice at the parts counter. I had pressure in my axles when I originally removed the stock breather, and after hearing the rush of air when I took it off, I have no faith in the stock assembly at all.

+1 for my dealership. They're pretty good. And that's a good thing, because my truck likes to leak oil from at least 2 different places each year.
