I have to replace the PCV hose (the hose from valve cover to the PCV valve) as the old hose is toast. This is on a '96 Caravan with 3.3 V6. I have the hose but the area to work in is behind the plenum so I guess I am working in the dark. Any tips, should I remove the wiper motor tub, all responses gratefully accepted.

I would remove the wiper tub before I'd remove the plenum. At first glance the plenum appears easy. But there are a bunch of support brackets on the rear end of it and they are a B___ch to get at. Change spark plugs on the rear bank while you have the tub off.

Thanks for the response. I did the plugs and wires last year and took the tub out for that repair, but, I never thought about the PCV having a hose off of the rear valve cover (I was familiar with the clean air hose off of front valve cover) and when I discovered the hidden hose that was fried, it amazed me, plus they hid it in an almost impossible spot to get at ( and I thought my 1988 BMW 750il was bad). I guess a tub removal is in order.
