Hi,

As my Dakota (2005 V8/Magnum) is used but new to me I am changing a few components so that way I know when a component was last changed. So far so good. The only problem I am having is replacing the pcv valve. I have located it on the front of the left cam cover where the oil filler cap is but I don't understand how to open the clip that holds it. Anyone know how this is done.

Thanks,

Bandito

 

I think you just twist is counterclockwise to get out,ill double check and get back tomorrow

 

pcv valve whats that? do you mean the egr valve? they are two different things

 

geeze mike.... he has the right location.... just push it in slightly and turn it. theres a oring so its a snug fit. might have to wiggle it some while turning too! hope this helps

 

PCV=Positive Crankcase Ventilation - allows gasses that blow by the pistons to evacuate the crankcase, and prevent oil loss.

EGR= Exhaust Gas Recirculation - a method of controlling combustion speed and temperature by introducing exhaust to the intake charge, to reduce NOx emissions.

 

Everyones a f*cking expert since google came around huh?

JK LOL

 

How dare you! Alright I did consult Wikipedia to make sure I wasn't wrong about the PCV.
