PCV Valve Location - Help Required

[CremeSierra]

Currently working on a 6.0L V8 (2000 LQ9 I believe) and cannot seem to locate the PCV valve and hose (see image for reference).

 

 I was under the impression that they weren’t integrated into the valve cover until around 2005. The body of this truck is a 2000 Sierra 1500 but the engine was replaced from the 4.8 to the 6.0 at some point so I’m guessing for a lot of the component locations.

 

First time poster, any helps appreciated.

It’s right underneath the plate that holds the cable to the throttle body. You can see it in the picture it’s halfway underneath in the front on the intake manifold. It has a small 2” long hose attached to it, follow the plastic tube that’s attached to it. It goes to the left side valve cover where the Pcv is.

Thanks for your help man, I've attached an edited photo of the engine bay. Is that the particular hose you were talking about? I've watched nearly every video online, and I don't seem to have the matching "thicker hose" that enters the drivers side valve cover.

It’s not in the outlined rectangle you made, It’s just above the rectangle, half way underneath the square plastic plate.

It’s above the one you highlighted

Oh I see, the cable directly up from the one highlighted in the rectangle? Has a black 90-degree fixing just under the plate you described?

Yes, that’s the one. You follow it to the valve cover and the pcv should be there. I have 2001 Silverado, it’s the same thing.

You're a legend. Thanks again, will finish that off tomorrow!
