No air injection.  Doesn't look like it ever did.  I don't see a EGR valve or anything. I have both valvecovers coming together at one T-fitting and then venting to the throttlebody.

I think I'm gonna try adding a valvecover breather/filter.  When I took off the oil cap, the whistle went away, so maybe the motor needs better crankcase breathing?  I'll give it a try and see what happens.

Wait, you have both valve covers going to a vacuum source? That's a no no. One should be a PCV valve with a hose going to the large vac port the other should just be a filter vented to the air.

That's how the truck was when I bought it, but I just fixed that with a filter.  I'll see how it sounds in a bit.
