The dealers i've called around me are clueless, I give them the part number and they say it s an L valve, but neither of the check valves I have are an L. its a T and a V, with both of them having 3 openings.
And also at zman, how would replacing the check valves and PCV valve fix my clutch not engaging issue exactly? Since more of those valves have ot do with just directing the air to the vents in the truck? I am not undermining you, i'm just curious as to how that might fix it if it is the issue.

Ah, well before I posted info to the issue of the accelerating thing, you replied to my thread in terms of changing the check valves would fix it, before I had mentioned the acceleration issue. Maybe I misunderstood, this was before the text.
The main thing I was trying to fix was the clutch. Which today I went to two different Dodge dealers to get two check valves and a pcv valve, one only had one and a pcv valve, the other had a new type of check valve that he says everyone is replacing the old cylinder ones like the picture above from the other guy. So now I have a new big check valve with a big vacuum seal lol.
I replaced both of them out, and the pcv, and topped the 134a off, still had the issue, took the clutch off, cleaned the inside of the clutch, polished off the back of the clutch to get rust off, and took off a shim, and so far so good, it has been engaging with no issue, and staying on when driving for over ten minutes =).
So I do believe my issue is fixed. Thank you all for all the helpful information.
