Nope. Got the Motorcraft one, too, and I figured that it would...

Nevermind, I figured out how to take it off reeeealy easily...

Soak it in water & clean the oil off the outside. Then just heat the damn thing with a lighter for a few seconds & it slips right off!

What he said. A heat gun or hairdryer should work too. I'm still surprised your motorcraft PCV didn't come with a new one though. I'd ask the parts dude if it's supposed to or not. I know mine did and I just got it last weekend.

I got one about a month ago that didn't come with one. The next day I called to get the boot and they have completely redesigned the setup. There is no longer a plastic boot, it goes to a rubber elbow. Now for the good part...the only way to get this elbow is to get the entire hard line from it to the IAC. It is formed slightly different and comes with protective foam around it to keep it from rubbing on all the other crap around it.
