Squeegy410 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I just figured I should share this with anyone who cares. My PCV valve was constantly spewing oil all over the inside of my hood. The factory rubber piece that inserts into the PCV hole was missing, and the piece i found on an old chrystler engine behind my house that fit it was so old that it was to hard to go in it, so me and my dad got two long pieces of hose clamp and welded washers to the end of those, then we hooked that up to the PCV on one end and the valve cover and something else on the other end. I can't remember all the details but anyway I'll get some pics of the job we did. I fix things to make them work, not beautifull. ;) I'll probobly take a picture of the battery tie down i made too. I'll post that here I suppose. Any other home remedies? Any one else who has a welder or drill etc. and likes to fix things? Let us know.

Pete M Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 What is it that you're referring to as a PCV valve? The 4.0 has a CCv system. no valve, just an open elbow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeegy410 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 yeah just the elbow. I wasn't trying to use PCV valve as an entirely technical term, just the 4.0's method of crank case ventilation. I should have some pics sometime today.

Squeegy410 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 here's some more of my handy work. My battery wasn't tied down so it ran the risk of bouncing up to the hood and shorting out the whole truck. I made this with some rod and angle iron. I also put a button switch on my hood light. It came on when the hood opened and I didn't like my battery to die every time I worked under my hood. This took all of 5 minutes and helped a ton.

dasbulliwagen Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 These need to go seperately into the DIY section, so more people can reference them when needed down the road. Good stuff! keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 It's sorta important to keep CCV and PCV straight since the 4.0 has a CCV system and the 2.5 uses a PCV system. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
