I have no ping and just passed my etest , I took out the pcv valve and it rattles ,so i assume that it is ok , or is it cleanable ? what is the proper test to see if a pcv valve is doing it's job ? should a 98 dodge ram 2500 with a 5.9l gas engine have power off take off? as mine wont even spin the tires . in fact the wife's ford windstar will take off faster at the lights. or is that cause the truck is so heavy?

 

PCV is working. So I guess you are not going to check the plenum?

 

do you have oil floating in your coolant?

 

Mine also passed emissions, didn't smoke and didn't smell... Check the damn plenum!

 

great, i checked the plenum and yes there is oil in there , I guess this is going to cost a fortune. I dont have time to have my truck ripped apart for 2 days, and no i wasnt going to base my findings on the pcv valve. just wondering what the proper proceedure or test for a pcv valve was. I guess it will pay itself off in a month. cause this thing is using more oil than gas. but yet i dont smell a drop of oil being burned . and no leaks outside of motor. would it be better to buy a new crate motor? or is this going to be expensive at a dealership? thanks.

 

New crate motor because you need a new plunum gasket wtf?

Just replace the plenum gasket...

 

no kiding itl set you back 200 at the most and a little of your time
no reason for a new motor it happens to all of us just get it fixed
