Yes it does.
Any vehicle has to have some type of breather/PCV valve. Otherwise the crankcase pressure would build up and have nowhere to go until it pushed a seal out or the next weakest link such as the oil dipstick.
PCV= Positive Crankcase Ventilation. The crankcase has to vent due to blowby. If you have a non functioning valve or no way for the crankcase to vent, you are going to have problems.

The Jeep 4.0L is not equipped with a PCV valve. The engine is features a valveless CCV system ("constant crankcase ventilation") that has air always moving through it. On your valve cover, the forward elbow has a hose that draws in clean air from the filter. The rearward elbow contains a "metered orifice" (tiny hole). The hose on this elbow runs to a fitting on the intake maniold. This is a slightly older design.
There is no PCV valve. However when parts shopping many books and computers have the elbows mislabelled.
