Yup! Cummins calls it a 'Crankcase Breather Vapor Cannister"

its the same that everyone else is talking about. Stock the hose is very short and they decided that it would be a good idea to put it right in front of the radiator fan. I took the bottle out and extended mine all the way to the ground...past the wheel. So the extra oil just goes into the ground (its not much)

most guys will use heater hose, but it will have to be replaced every year.it gets real soft and swells up... i used a heat and oil resistant hose, haven't changed it since

For heavy deposits I use mineral spirits in a pump sprayer. Soak and rinse.

to get the last bit od residue off, I use a bit of foamy engine brite. Never takes more than the time to wash the truck to have the underside perfect.
