Im hearing a rattle during my investigation i found this was what i was hearing !

[@DavidJWarEagle]

That’s great that you found it! 👏👏

[@dariusmims9512]

I been hearing that on mine as well ... Gonna change out the pcv and see what happens 122k on the car

[@THERIPPER216]

Can these go bad without setting off an engine light

[@makantahi3731]

you could re arange spark plug cables, because same spark goes on 2 places- first to cilinder to combust and second by cable to cilinder where is exhaust stroke to help to reduce unburned gasses to go out, better is to have 2 sparks in one cilinder in same time than one spark. so return spark cable to main cilinder where is spark coil

[@DavidJWarEagle]

I replaced the spark plug wires with some Taylor shorty spark plug wires to do that very thing. It looks much nicer without the wires running across the manifold.

[@TheScalicis]

Loving your tutorials, David. Very helpful information! Thanks for sharing!

[@jimeckenrode1271]

I believe it is suggested that you lube or grease those two O rings

[@ejsgarage]

I am going to enjoy this channel since you do a lot of car maintenance and DIY work videos :) Thank you David

[@knowledgeispower4235]

My 5.7 tripping idling below 0 rpm but driving fine just a little shaky in park, and engine light continues to blinks for a multiple misfire code after I replaced all spark plugs, I dont know else it would be to fix, it also shudders trying to floor it at 60 or above.

[@raphaelharbin9290]

Mine doing the same

[@westcali9621]

Quick question when it goes bad what happens to your car???

[@DavidJWarEagle]

Here’s some info about it. www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-manifold-absolute-pressure-sensor-map-sensor

[@makantahi3731]

you are lucky, my just rotates and does not go out, install oil catch can, you would be suprised how much oil passes to intake and make tick soot on pistons

[@theragingcreeper9040]

Thats my next step, what brand catch can would you reccomend

[@OiSteezy]

I have a leak coming from either the hose or the top part of that the pcv screws into, any idea what it would be? Leaking intake manifold or would it be the hose?

[@DavidJWarEagle]

You might be able to locate the leak by spraying some brake parts cleaner or carb cleaner where you think the leak is, while the engine is running. The engine speed will vary when the cleaner is sucked into the leak. Another option would be to use an automotive smoke machine to push smoke into the intake manifold and you’ll be able to find manifold leaks by looking for the smoke. I’ve seen videos where people make them for around $20 US. Search for automotive smoke machine. Thanks for the question.

Just changed my egr value and it still stalls when just cruising as in a vibrating what is this??

[@newwavepressure6478]

Anybody know why I have like oil seeping around mine I replaced it a while ago so it is new

[@josewilfridoacunameraz6538]

Will this work on a Grand Cherokee Overland 2006?

[@DavidJWarEagle]

Check your intake manifold. The PCV should be in the same area if it doesn’t look the same as mine in the video. Thank you for the comment.

[@BEATOCEAN]

fantastic my friend

[@mattmager5585]

My EGR the copper pipe that runs inside the intake manifold melted a hole right through mine how hard of a fix will that be and is that a part I can just get from a part store or should I get Chrysler parts from the dealer and pay 20 times as much o’Reillys told me 314$ for a new one

[@DavidJWarEagle]

I didn’t know regular parts stores carried those composite intake manifolds. That’s good to know. For price comparison I would look at an OEM parts website like eastcoastmoparts.com and probably rockauto.com for non-OEM. I have no affiliation with either of those, just a suggestion.

[@mattmager5585]

DavidJWarEagle I’m pretty sure that the name brand is Dooley does that sound familiar and I reside in Ohio I wish there’s a way I could post a picture of what my EGR did to my intake but advance auto parts told me you’d be a little over $600 I then looked on Facebook I found one about 45 minutes away for $335 but the person wanted to do the work on my car in order to get the part and then O’Reillys told me $314 brand new and they said that the name of the intake pretty sure Dooleys he said that they make probably the best aftermarket parts

[@chetmyers7041]

0:25 Does the PCV hose deliver the blow-by to mostly one cylinder, or does it mix into the entire intake manifold?

[@DavidJWarEagle]

It mixes into the entire intake manifold. You can see the intake manifold in more detail here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIKahaJ6ad57g6M

[@sully7306]

Lefty loosey righty tighty👍

[@ryanstewart1445]

Quick question. I took my 2013 5.7L hemi in to shop for oil in intake. They said it's the pcv valve. Is there any other way oil can get into the intake. Heard some thing about a phlegm gasket or something?

[@DavidJWarEagle]

Ryan Stewart Due to the PCV and EGR systems on modern vehicles, intakes get pretty oily and dirty. Did you have oil leaking out somewhere? Did the shop say that the oil in the intake was normal? I’m not sure what a “phlegm” gasket is.

[@ryanstewart1445]

DavidJWarEagle well I noticed the oil in the intake manifold an last oil change. I'm a diesel mechanic so when I see oil in the intake manifold its most like a turbo. Seeing how I don't have one I assume its a problem. I read on a dodge forum about the phlegm gasket. Don't remember much on it. Ill try and find it

[@DavidJWarEagle]

Okay. 👍 I made a video recently about cleaning the intake manifold. So, you can check that out for reference. If the engine isn’t smoking or misbehaving, then I think the oil you’re seeing is probably normal. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIKahaJ6ad57g6M

[@ryanstewart1445]

DavidJWarEagle thanks a lot I appreciate it. I'll change my pcv valve and see if it improves. I might skip the cleaning for now. But great video.

[@DavidJWarEagle]

You’re welcome! The cleaning is unnecessary but I thought the part showing all the crud inside might give you something to compare yours to. Let me know how it goes.

[@cdschroe]

Looks like you put in backwards. There is a hole only on one side near the top needs to be facing towards the crankcase.

[@pinchandtwist]

cdschroe wrong

[@ramonruiz5968]

Does this valve has anything to do with the car throwing blue smoke

[@DavidJWarEagle]

I doubt it but you can always remove it and clean it with brake parts cleaner. You should see the brass valve moving inside when you tilt it like I showed in the video.

[@jeffdupont6165]

Have you ever heard the expression "Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty"

[@lilianalizeth7934]

Can I add the sea foam to there to clean my valves?

[@DavidJWarEagle]

No, sorry. I would not do that. The Sea Foam spray is meant to be sprayed into the intake in front of the throttle body.

[@captainobvious5993]

I poured a bottle in the gas tank to clean the injectors and my hemi smoked for three weeks, had symptoms of a valve seal leak

[@michaelrichter8766]

Great video! I’ve just replaced the pcv valve, but for some reason I can’t get out the pcv hose, which I’m trying to replace also. I don’t wanna break anything by pulling too hard. Any advice? Thanks

[@DavidJWarEagle]

Thanks, Michael! I remember that hose was a real pain to remove. Try spraying a little WD-40 right where the rubber hose meets the plastic manifold and try to pull the manifold end first (not the end near the PCV valve). It’s been a long while but I remember pulling pretty hard to remove it. Just make sure not to wipe the excess WD-40 off and try not to get it all over the hose because that will make it tougher to get a grip. Good luck! 👍

[@michaelrichter8766]

DavidJWarEagle awesome, thanks!

What the function of this valve in the car?

[@Chrysler300str8Evil]

Great video now I know where mines at with a 147000 miles and I'm guessing it's never been changed but I'm gonna do it now thanks for the great video

[@DavidJWarEagle]

You’re welcome and thanks for watching! I don’t know if it matters but some folks were saying that the Chrysler symbol and the hole on the valve should face forward when the valve is fully seated. Just FYI.

[@Chrysler300str8Evil]

@@DavidJWarEagle thanks for the info & I'm now watching your channel to see more about hemi chrysler 300c you have a blessed day from Str8Tattedup in Victorville ca

[@leehancock2782]

Had a 2006 Durango that we drove 375k, never changed it.

[@newwavepressure6478]

Dose the hole on the side have to line up with the hose

[@DavidJWarEagle]

I think the PCV valve is keyed so that it only goes in one way. If you can turn it clockwise so that it fully seats, you should have it. I don't recall if the hole faces toward the hose or not. Let me know if that helps or not.

[@newwavepressure6478]

DavidJWarEagle ok I'll have to look at mine again thanks for the video

[@joelrodriguez-zo4jh]

That's the same thing I was wondering??

[@jesusr7174]

JT 1200 I think it does because mine was making no noise when I went to check it. When I put it back in with hole towards hose it was rattling. I’m gona get a new one but I see in the video the first time he had it facing the hose when he took it back out it was facing the other way. Chrysler logo was the hole side.

[@Er1c91]

Great video 👍🏻 thanks so much for the support you have mine as well! Definitely new sub here, thank you for the awesome information will def be watching your other videos

[@Nameless7oh7]

I was told the 5.7 L have two PVC valves the big when you’re pulling off in the small L-shaped one

[@DavidJWarEagle]

There is only one PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve on this engine. I haven’t heard of or seen one that had more than one PCV valve. There is an integrated oil separator however. It is the cylindrical part of the intake that the PCV valve connects to.

[@Nameless7oh7]

DavidJWarEagle Yeah I just came from O’Reilly’s and he looked up for my truck I have the 2004 5.7 L and he said my vehicle has two which I have never heard of myself and the 4.7 L has one lol

[@James-hg5tk]

Lol well that’s the problem. Don’t listen to oreillys or auto zone, stick to forums and OEM part numbers and real advice! Best of luck! ✊️

[@Nameless7oh7]

daniel vazquez truck dyes ones in a blue moon when it has ran for some time you can be driving fine an then the next light it’s fine then rpm drop an come up an u hit the gas an it dyes drove to Reno no problem idk what it is

[@James-hg5tk]

MrBrandon50b open your hood fuese box and try pulling engine management fuse, i think the computers on these cars start saving data that makes it preform weird. My V8 300 was idling funny and I pulled it out the fuse for 2 minuets and it when’t back to running like a champ and downshifting super harsh and violent! I would also would recommend unplugging your battery but that might make you lose saved radio stations. Please keep us posted!

[@farmaskydra8096]

nice chanel

[@louindorato6855]

What type of oil did you use for the O rings ?

[@DavidJWarEagle]

It was engine oil. The same as what I use in the engine.

[@gmansworld7186]

Great video! Returning the favor.

[@DavidJWarEagle]

Gman's World Thanks man!

[@reinhardmazariegos2095]

Is that a transmission dip stick?

[@DavidJWarEagle]

Yes. It is a B&M but I don’t recall the part number, very handy.

[@SantistaFighter]

Subbed! Watched and liked! :D

[@DavidJWarEagle]

Thanks buddy!

[@hellcathooligan6152]

Did you're turn off?

[@ImOutsideFoo]

Will this work for a 2010 charger rt ?

[@DavidJWarEagle]

The process should be the same but I would verify the part number for your car.

[@rayhayden]

Dropping another LIKE on your video!

[@glennwisse6271]

Good job. Thanks

[@DavidJWarEagle]

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@lynnchello7231]

You need a “Catch Can”!

[@DavidJWarEagle]

Lynn Chello I don’t think I would run a catch can without also disabling the EGR system. Otherwise the exhaust gases are still being dumped into the intake but without the oil vapors to help dissolve the deposits from the exhaust (just my opinion). It would be interesting to see what the inside of the intake manifold looks like on a Hemi that has a catch can.

[@lynnchelo4727]

Very little oil on mine.

[@bighomieJ5X]

Is that a b&m trans dipstick

[@DavidJWarEagle]

Yup. I didn't like not having one.

[@bighomieJ5X]

DavidJWarEagle is it more accurate then that chrsyler universal one where u read the temperature. I kneed that.

[@DavidJWarEagle]

I presume you have the NAG1 transmission. So, in that context, the proper fluid level is determined by the transmission fluid temperature. This is why the Chrysler/Miller tool (dipstick) has so many graduations of measurement and also why there is no factory dipstick. There was a lot of consternation on the lxforums.com back in the day about fluid levels in the NAG1. The Chrysler/Miller tool (dipstick) is a diagnostic tool that isn't supposed to remain in the transmission all the time. I think over time people have learned that the NAG1 is "OK" as long as the level is in the appropriate range that the B&M dipstick indicates and not overfilled. To answer your question, I do not believe the B&M is more accurate but I think it's accurate enough. My thought in getting the B&M was that I wanted to be able to check my trans fluid when I'm away from home and not have to keep the Chrysler/Miller tool in the car. Just make sure to cruise on the highway for 20-30 minutes to make sure the transmission is fully warmed up. Then check the fluid level with the car in Park with the engine running. If you are doing a drain and refill after changing the filter, make sure the fluid is in the cold range on the dipstick with the engine running before you leave to warm up the transmission. I usually check where the fluid is on the dipstick (with the car off) before I do a drain and refill. This way I can approximate the fluid level before starting the engine to check it. The NAG1 is actually a Daimler/Mercedes-Benz transmission also known as the 722.6. My suspicion is that the "over-precision" regarding the fluid level was a Daimler (German) thing since Chrysler was owed at that time (mid 2000s) by Daimler, known as DaimlerChrysler AG. Daimler sold Chrysler in 2007 and became Daimler AG. In 2014, Fiat (Italian company) bought Chrysler and so it is now called Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). Wow, that was a long way home but I hope this helps answer your question.
