You might just be missing the regular rubber plug that goes over it normally. You can get them at any auto parts store. Vacuum plug caps.

Everythig seems to be accounted for, however you didnt give us details on your truck

Assuming 92 automatic, correct?

My old ranger just had one of them plugged from the factory. If everything works, I bet its fine. Just get a rubber cap to go over it.

My old Ranger ('85 2.0 carb) used to blow the damn things off all the time .... The rings were so bad I think there was more compression in the crankcase than in the cylinders ;-) Finally put in a PVC valve from a 2.9L V6 (If I remember right) which helped get rid of the crankcase pressure somewhat ....

I still have fond memories of all the oddball crap I used to plug them (3) just to get me back home without it dying all the time .... but it never once stranded me and I put on 200K of the 237K it had on it when I sold it in May ....
