Discontinued part from doing a quick search, but this place lists one in stock:

GM 10239850 Tube, genuine OEM part

Positive crankcase ventilation (rubber elbow) GM genuine OEM part.

oemcats.com

Hopefully they actually have the part in stock. Good luck...

Couldn't you just find a grommet to fit the hole size and then stick an elbow fitting in it?

Is this the right track ?

Tap it for NPT

Out of stock. Thanks for looking into it.

I'm starting to lean towards some type of retrofit.

Those look pretty close. Why the 496 in the search term?

Tap it for NPT

Thin cast aluminum. No bueno for tapping. They are also baffled inside which limits options.

Even though it is thin, could you weld an NPT bung to it?

I've had my welder put aluminum fittings onto cast aluminum transfer cases in the past with no issues.

On mine, no pic at the moment, but I used a regular valve cover grommet and a piece of a/c aluminum line with a washer epoxied to it for a stop.

Both viable options. At this point I'm just trying to find a $5 fitting that will show up in the mailbox. Save my guy a little cash.

How about a standard PCV grommet and 90* fitting?

edit: never mind... potato internet and the pic on post #5 hadn't loaded.

I have the benders and flaring tools for that fix. Where do I get the tubing?
And make it not leak like yours.

Edit: I guess put a barb or bubble on the tube end where it goes in the grommet.
Will look around tomorrow for parts and report back.

It's off of a a/c system lol. I'm not sure where to buy it in bulk.

1/2

This might fit the bill.

Same truck, different question. Should I loctite the oil pump mounting bolt? If so, red or blue?
Should I put RTV on pickup tube where it presses into oil pump?

Thanks?

Check the temp specs on whatever thread locker you use. Some of them get soft at temps that are in the high end of what oil will be.
