A little oil is OK. That is what this is designed to do.
And NO, it's a one way valve, and shouldn't blow both ways.
It's meant to vent the crankcase emissions up, and not get fuel back into your lube oil.
If you have too much oil in your valve, you have a back pressure problem,
which...
They sell them by the foot. Cheap! Way cheaper than a tranny shop will ding you for.
Replace any hose that does not flex easily.
You should get out of NAPA for less than $30.oo .
Do one hose at a time, and guard from heat ... exhaust ....
report back when done!
Some where I also have the CF - TM for the above cab rack that we had installed on the MLVWs ( CDN M35). I can't recall them on the 135, but they sure solved storage problems!
Our M135 is firmly retired.
It normally goes out in support of Branch 118 of the Royal Canadian Legion.
It pays respect to our veterans, does PR in community parades ...
AND ... at Christmas, it helps Santa restock the Toy Store,
at our local Salvation Army!
Every kid deserves a toy at...
Nice M38. Now you just need the gun to go with it.
You can find the TMs for the M135 here:

Tons more interesting info, we used these beasts for a long time!
Drag your Butt down the road and go have another look at the rig that Super Dave has.
Just please wipe the drool out of it when you're done.
His is by far the nicest one that I have seen rolling,
and not hiding in a museum!
OPSEC is also what prevents us from posting GL Forklift Post Battle Damage Pics as well!
Just for info, I do have some pics that were taken by CDN troops,
but by request, I can not post them.
Or email .... Sorry.
The OIC was quite specific, and even though our crew is home now,
the enemy...
As if we had any doubt the the Crown Royal Quality Assurance team would not finish this job!
Some of us are too far to drive to the rally, so when you get the time, fill us in with the "Inside " joke.
I, for one have wasted way to much time,
salivating and waiting for that beast to make...
To quote a "Frank's Red Hot Sauce" advert, "I use that Sh+t on everything".
It worked great to seal the winsheilds on the M135, and still allow the proper fold up action.
Thanks. With any luck we'll have an old style M105 ready for our Chistmas Toy Drive.
I need more room for all of the toys and bikes that we donate to our local Salvation Army!
Now, how about some pics of where you are in your build.
This is the smart way. Drill the crap out of it, Get out the chisel, and when you get enough of it out, a hook .... maybe even on a slide hammer should clean the rest of the crap out.
In this case, heat is NOT your friend.
I know of one on the Left Coast which is parade ready. Rob is downsizing. He is on MLU and also Western Command. If you need, PM me and I'll give you his contact info.
I would really hate to see this truck leave our area, but as long as it gets a good new home, I'll find another truck to fill...
Well done! I know that you enjoy your "Toys", but it is always so nice to see you doing your usual thing, and spreading the smiles around.
It is nice that the custody of some vehicles ends up with the right custodians!
Get out your tape measure and labelling gun.
Post the unloaded clearance on your dash, near the most critical guage. ( the one that you are most afraid of on YOUR truck .. they varry! Me, air guage.
If you miss that one, well ... get out your wallet.
Stupid repairs can be kind of spendy!
