Do these have the issue with the PCV sucking oil? The redesigned PCV orifice was listed as the repair on the TSB.

I bought my truck in June 02 and it already had the redesigned PCV valve in it. I'm not sure when the switch was made.

How can I look at my PCV valve and see if it is redesigned or not?

Pull it out and check the end. The redesigned valve has a pretty small, single hole drilled in it (they call it a fixed orifice) instead of the typical spring-loaded valve.
