Default 2005 PCV location on 4.3L V-6

Has anyone changed the PCV valve on a 2005 Jimmy? All I can find is a hollow thin metal tube where the PCV should be on the left valve cover. It's not like the 2000 Jimmy I had where the PCV is on the valve cover. The 2005 hookup connects to another fitting nearer the throttle body and looks like the setup for a PCV on a 3.8L V-6 (2003 Monte Carlo) but I can't find a PCV inside.
They sell the old PCV at a parts store for the 2005 but it won't fit the smaller opening.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I finally got to GM parts counter and got the guy to look it up. It shows the routing to a metal sleeve on the rocker cover (as I see on mine). There is no PCV valve on the 2005 4.3L V-6 just in case anyone else goes looking for it. The 3.8L V-6 has a similar setup but does have a PCV valve under the cover on the end of the block near the serpintine belt.

Hummmmmmmm, are you sure? does it look like the valve cover on your 2000 ? But has no rubber Grommet right ? But hard build up were the PCV would go ? But with the Small Metal sleeve in the cover, If you pull it out it is a PVC but just way Smaller and it is Locktied in. Hope this Helps? Check it out let us no what you find? Remember to locktite(sp) it back in though. T.J.
