A good drawing of the PCV valve's location appears at
http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...catdisplay.jsp

Put in your truck's info, then select "BREATHER TUBE." Should be item 1 in
the drawing and on the price list.

Autozone under "component locations" says it's "Under hood, center, upper
engine area, top of engine, mounted in valve cover."

This one should be very easy to change. (Not so for all Honda models.) I
suggest spending the few extra bucks for a new rubber grommet (item 4 in
the drawing), too.

All together, with OEM dealer parts, doing this yourself should cost no
more than about $30. Maybe as low as $20. I'd only buy an OEM valve and
grommet for this.

Make sure everything is tight on re-assembly. Loose joints = vacuum leak =
wrong information to the ECU = bad mileage, etc.
