threaded cap on oil filler missing

The threaded metal cap on the oil filler (not the oil cap) is missing. The previous owner put in it's place is a fitting and a rubber hose that ends under the truck, and isn't attached to anything. Does anyone know why the might have done this or what it might cause as far a problems with the truck? It gives the truck the appearance of an exhaust leak. Any suggestions on where I could find a new metal cap?<O</O

It sounds like he used it for a road draft tube to let blowby exit under truck.

The PO may have removed/disabled the CDR, or the CDR may be trashed. If it were mine, I'd remove the road tube (because they are stinky, needlessly pollute, and tend to make a mess). But, before doing so, make sure the CDR is operating correctly.

Of course, others will have different opinions...

If interested, check the recent thread "I need help!!" by "matthewh08". There is an excellent description of the CDR there.
