How to Locate a PVC Valve in a 2006 RAM 1500

The PCV valve is one the most important aspects of the emissions control system. The valve recirculates unburned gases and fresh air into the crankcase, allowing for cleaner burning of the fuel. The PCV valve is a simple plastic valve that flexes with the pressure of the engine, allowing for more or less unburned gases to pass through. The 2006 Ram 1500 followed similar designs with the placement and operation of the PCV valve. You should check the valve every 30,000 miles, and replace it, as necessary.

Instructions

1

Trace the air filter tubing. The PCV valve connects to this, remotely, through black tubes.

2

Trace the black vacuum tubes to the PCV valve. The tubing may route through the brake booster on some models.

3

Pull the tube off of the PCV valve, to verify you have located it properly. The 3.7L and 4.7L PCV valves mount directly onto the oil fill spout. The 5.7L places the PCV valve directly on the intake, behind the throttle body. The PCV valve is a basic plastic component about two inches in length. Some are L-shaped.
