Could you tell me how you did this conversion? Is there a kit available? Do we need more parts? How do you unable the one in the neck? We just bought an 05 Dakota and I think the PCV is part of the problems. Thanks.

Default changing PCV

I'm new to this so please cut me some slack. I'd like more info on changing the PCV from oil filler neck to rear intake. Does it require add'l parts other than different PCV? Is there a kit to do it? How do you plug the one in the oil filler neck? We just bought an 05 Dakota QC so I may be asking several dumb questions here. Thanks.

Welcom to DF! I think Dave made up his own conversion to move the PCV valve from the oil filler neck to the block. He is no longer on here so maybe someone else will chime in. Mines been in the filler neck since day one and I have not had any issues with it. I just replaced it at 60k and it still rattled like it is supposed to.

Ditto. Easy to replace and cheap.

If you think yours is causing a problem, have you changed it yet to see if it's the culprit?

In the process of changing now. Always do cheapest and easiest first. Just didnt know what was involved to do the change vs replacement. Thanks for the info and the welcome. This is our first Dakota. Looking forward to getting info from all of you in the future. Think we'll try the OTIS console install next.

Can someone tell me exactly where the tube for this runs to behind the motor? I accidentally pulled it loose when i was changing the back spark plug.
