MX-13 CRANKCASE BREATHER REPLCEMENT - 13petehoneytruck - 02-09-2019
i am looking to replace the crankcase breather on my paccar 455 on my 13 peterbilt 587 because the truck has just turned over 500k and i know this part not being replaced can cause serious problems. the cost of the part was a shock as i was quoted $1,040 from a peterbilt dealership but i found the part at peterbilttruckparts.com for $895.76 and at bigrigworld.com for $773.57. i need to know if the part can be purchased for a less expensive price anywhere on the web and if the check valve and breather tube need to be replaced new at the same time. also can anyone tell me what is a good format to look up any part number for this truck. if anyone has changed this part themselves i would appreciate any advice to accomplish this without any set backs. appreicate any and all advise.

Saw this from Kenworth:

I'm not familiar with that engine but maybe check with Peterbilt to see if there was a similar recall. It does say that Kenworth dealers can swap the part on Peterbilts.

Seriously? -- its nothing but a fancy crank case breather? -- can it be eliminated?...

Never even seen one so I would not know.

It is Paccar part# 1827090PE. It is sometimes called a Crankshaft Breather Module or a CCV Oil Separator. It's a little bit larger than the size of a gallon jug, has a rubber sealed intake from the block, two oil hose connections and is mounted by four bolts directly to the block. It also has a spinning gear inside of it that keep the oil moving through it. It is my understanding that this component needs replaced at 500,000 miles on these motors. I am at 515,000 miles on mine so I wanted to protect the motor by replacing it. It's definitely not an option to eliminate it's function for the motor. I will try to post a picture of it. Thanks for the reply.
