Thank you for posting this video! This is a perfect video; exactly what I was looking for when I searched UA-cam for a 2005 Dodge Caravan PCV valve replacement video. Great edit on video as well. Thank you!
I appreciate your video, sir. Excellent information. I made a video and had someone criticize me saying that there was a screw that had to be loosened and the PCV valve would come right out. Your video confirms he was wrong and that I'm not the only one who had trouble taking the PCV valve out. I used a blind pilot bearing puller (or something like that) and it came out in about two or three pieces. That ring of rubber----same thing, it was the last thing to come out, I had to use a pick to get it out. Anyway, it's just a pain to have a smartass in the comments section and I appreciate being able to refer to your video as I was second guessing myself.
You know what...don't worry about them critiquing you. You are doing it to help others. Some say it because they have good advice, some are just tools. If they don't like it, they can either make their own video...or watch someone else's. Keep up the good work brotha, there will always be trolls on the other end.
Glad you could get out the pcv easy as you did because i have seen others have to remove the the cover to access it from the underside. alright way to go
Thanks for the video ,, and the info about the bolt ( if hard to remove ) . 👍 . ( I'm always a fan when doing any DIY project , the little extra tip / help someone adds to make the job easier ) .
That was a nice video, but this isn't for all 01-07. Some have a bolt on PCV and I think possibly 05-07 have this rubber gasket inserted style PCV. But they are all roughly in the same position and the hose is similar. I can't tell if my PCV valve was replaced before or not. When I pulled my host off, I saw the PCV valve there and it basically came out with minimal pulling into my hand. The new replacement also went in with minimal pushing. I didn't experience the resistance you did for whatever reason. The worse part of it was messing with the hose clamps, which I am not a fan of. Mine is an 06 Caravan (not Grand) 3.3L with 18xk miles.
The reason yours came out easily is because of the low miles. On vehicles that the valve has been routinely replaced it shouldn’t be too stuck in there. But on ones that have rarely if ever been changed you’re going to get some natural welding occurring either between the metal surfaces alone or by the crankcase exhaust soot acting like a flux between the metal surfaces.
Good video on PCV valve removal but darn, I dropped the rubber sleeve that broke off into the valve cover so I guess now I have to take the cover off to remove it?
I had my 02 sensors replaced this morning and now my van acts like it's starves for gas on a pull off. It gave me a code for evap leaks do you know WHT may be the issue here.
What size or type of bolt did you use to screw into the old pcv valve. New to all of type of stuff and trying to get around replacing this myself. Otherwise I appreciate you uploading this great tutorial video. Looking forward in hearing from you. Thanks
Man, I cant remember. I want to say it was either a 6 or 7mm bolt. But I could be wrong. I just had some different bolts lying around, so I just tried one. If you dont, you can take your new pcv valve to your local hardware store and get a perfect fit. I'm telling you, the bolt method is the way to go, because that pcv valve is sooooo hard to get out of there. It's easy to break the end of it off which would make it even more difficult to retract out of position. Then just remember to use your adjustable wrench as a pivot point to increase your leverage.
So I just changed mine. I put some wd40 around gasket hoping it would just slide in....nope so I took a socket a lightly tapped it in. The metal middle went down however gasket didn't move. Gasket is flush with intake. Will this work correctly this way or do I need to remove it?
They just get pressed in (no threads) and usually come out in pieces because they are so brittle. Same with the gasket.. The screw or whatever you have to press into the inner diameter (while removing) gives you something to clamp on to and give you a fulcrum while removing. They are a pain to remove in this vehicle if you never have removed yours over time
Good day Sir, I am a follower of yours since you started doing 2005 Hyundai Sonata, I need your help I am trying to replace my ac compressor but I cannot find the tensioners to release the belt. Thank you Sir!
@@ImproV2314 alrighty, there is a pulley that is connected to a bracket that the belt goes through. All you do is put the square end of your 3/8" drive into the bracket square (it's a perfect fit), then press down to allow the tension off the belt. Did you see my sonata video for removing the compressor? Please let me know if you have any more questions. Thanx
BryzGarage thanks a lot Sir! I just watched it again and everything is a lot easier, I guess I will try to change my oil too so I can remove the oil filter out of the way. Again thank you. God bless you Sir!
@@ImproV2314 Hey my pleasure brotha!!! Serious, as you are going through it and you have ANY questions, just hit me up. I'd love to help!! That is the only reason I do this. Thanx brotha and good luck!!! Btw...you dont "need" to change your oil, it just won't leak out as much. If you dont drain your oil, only about a cup or less will come out so it's no big deal. Anyway, good luck my friend!!!

@@bryzgarage5028 💯 I really appreciate that!

Thank you for your comments
I think if you don't have large forearm , it should be doable back there ...
Oh damn, that's further back than I thought. I might just have to watch your cowl removal video. Thanks for the advice 👍
You got it. You may be able to do it without removing it, but it would be really hard to reach it.
Thank you for your time! Good info and video! ☺
Very good amigo

Thx for the info!
Good video on PCV valve removal but darn, I dropped the rubber sleeve that broke off into the valve cover so I guess now I have to take the cover off to remove it?
Should i replace the hose/clamps too? Also is the rubber PCV valve the original one or will it be a screwable one?
It might be easier if you put the back end of the hose onto the valve before installing it into the valve cover

Yeah, you should be just fine. As long as it's secure with a solid seal, you should be good to go.
don't understand. the pcv chimney didn't have any threads inside. so you did you get your bolt to hold inside the pcv?
They just get pressed in (no threads) and usually come out in pieces because they are so brittle. Same with the gasket.. The screw or whatever you have to press into the inner diameter (while removing) gives you something to clamp on to and give you a fulcrum while removing.

Are you replacing it on a Sonata or a Caravan? Thanx for your comments!!
