Many thanks! Appreciate you noticing the little things that I work hard on when making a video like this. Make sure to subscribe and check out my other videos as well.
@@MotorCityMechanic also your advice in regards to the pcv valve was extremely helpful, because it was plugged leaking oil . After replacing it not leaking anymore and is running fine! It is a fun car to drive plenty of power for my 200!
I am literally about to perform this very maintenance procedure on my 2014 Town Country _this weekend_ ; and you literally just saved me from scratching my head and thumbing around online needlessly. Plus, you gave me an irrefutable reason for getting a new -toy- tool! What is there not to like about this video! Translation: Liked? Yes. Subscribed? YES! LOL. Thanks for the great video. Major time-saver.
WOW...Blown away again with another professionally made video from David..Keep em coming. I now have the confidence to replace the PCV valve in my FWD 2015 RAM C/V Tradesman video... Keep up the great work!
This is a really good video and I will be subscribing the main reason is not because you showed us how to change the PCV valve but you took the time to remove the valve cover so we understood the inner workings and exactly what's happening. I saw a lot of people on the videos showing us how much bigger their hole was when they took off the old one however when I want to put mine on I noticed I had the kind of force it on and now I understand why, because it actually has to stretch over the camshaft. Videos like this definitely help people understand what they're doing sometimes when you understand what's inside it helps you understand how to do a better job replacing parts from the outside. Thanks again outstanding video
Your info is VERY helpful. I love the details. This may be the first one I've seen of yours, and it wasn't vehicle specific, which I wish it was, but maybe you do others that are. But I loved the way you explain where and why things are what you will see old vs new.... this is in relation to your "Where is the PCV valve on a Chrysler 3.2 and 3.6 engine?"
Came across this video looking for torque specs for PCV valve. Plenty of useful info on your channel, watching videos like this over the years, and much courage. I went from getting screwed by sloppy mechanics to advanced repairs and engine swaps myself. Thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻
You make that look really easy. I just replaced mine maybe 15 minutes ago on my 2013 wrangler. Tight tolerance is no joke. I wasn't able to find a small ratchet like yours, but I had a 1/4" ratchet with a 360 degree swiveling head and I was able to fit that in to break them loose. Took me a couple hours to get it out and back in. That's no joke...quite crazy. Tomorrow I'm doing the spark plugs and ignition coils since I'm at 105K mikes. I wanted to say thank you for your video series on the 3.6 liter. I've done a few repairs and your videos are by far the best. Thanks again for the help. Oh, when are you guys going to put out t-shirts or hats? I'd love to rock one.
I try to make as many as I can.....seem obligated to show others for those that support the channel but its always great to show how to take something apart. Thanks Jake for following the channel.
Ron S. Gotta laugh a little on this one. I've been doing my own mechanic work for 45 years. Thought i would change plugs on my 2013 Charger. No biggie I thought. Didn't get into it very far before realizing...hey this isn't my "68" Charger..what the heck??? Found your MotorCity Mechanic site. You made it look so easy. Took a while but everything went very, very' smoothly thanks to your video. Very well done. Step by step instructions, the order of teardown is perfect. Very well presented. Should have been a public speaker. LOL. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Things sure have changed over the years for sure.....no need to know the firing order or have a plug wire break off leaving the boot in place. Those were the days for sure. Once you do it enough it becomes second nature and you just consider it normal. But in the end it sounds like you got it handled well. So my hats off to you and welcome to my world lol. Thanks for the comment and for watching. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.
My warranty is up on my 2015 dodge charger and you have saved me a thousand dollars and counting, so far. I changed my spark plugs and intake seals and now I'll be saving an additional $100 for this pcv valve.
Your professionalism is mind blowing 🤯...... got a 2012 jeep wrangler with a bad oil cooler. Gushing coolant from the seal under the cooler. I would have sent it in to my mechanic but with 120k on the clock I figured it was time for plugs, coils and fuel injectors too. Thanks for your help!!
I found the PCV valve without too much trouble, but on a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee I was at a loss as to how to get to those two fasteners. Bit ratchets...now that's a pro tip. Thanks David, great video, I think it will save me a lot of aggravation and save my wife having to listen to me curse and swear. I'm sure your aware of this but that upper intake manifold is a real booger to get off as well on my vehicle. Tough to reach all the fasteners for a not so tall guy like me and those brackets on the left cylinder block are an absolute pain to get to. I'm sure there is some trick to that as well...but I could figure it out. The only answer I had was to buy the longest thinest double end wrench I could find and slowly work those nuts loose an 1/8th of a turn at a time. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for checking out this video. I typically leave those brackets alone on the left side and just removed the 2 nuts. I fight my battle with the bracket on the throttle body side. To me it isnt that bad. I have done other videos and even did a blind fold intake removal video.....even with removing the rear bracket I mentioned. Thanks again for the comment and for following the channel. Make sure to subscribe.
Thanks, David! I have a 2013 Avenger with 137,000 miles and used your spark plug video to do replace those, and couldn't find the PCV valve, though I had to remove its hose to do the spark plugs! Very different design than most, but seemingly well designed. No issues with this engine thus far. Thanks again. YOU ROCK!
Its a different design then what we are use to. Odd design....and pricey when its time to replace. Thanks for using my videos and for following the channel! Its much appreciated.
For those who have a 3.6 Wrangler read carefully, such details are not available anywhere even in Chrysler Service info so save yourself the hassle 1- The PCV is on the right/passenger bank, mounted in the back facing the firewall, there is absolutely no clearance for a traditional 1/4 drive ratchet + T25 Torx bit to be used in the removal of the 2 screws, the only tool gonna work for you is 7:17 a T25 bit ratchet. 2- There is noway of accessing the screws from the Top of the engine nor from the bottom so in order of making an access you have to remove the battery, TPIM, air box,EVAP canister purge valve and you have to slide the power steering reservoir towards the inside, once you remove all these things tilt up the plastic carrier from the firewall side, there is no need to remove it completely as the TIMP harness will be sitting on it from the front side yet this will give you enough clearance to accomplish the job. Good luck
First of all, love your video. I just put in a PCV valve that’s OME in my 2013 Jeep Wrangler. Engines not performing right check engine light came on. I got no brakes or I got brakes just no booster. The throttlebody is not working right no throttle response .So I’m assuming I got a brand new bad PCV valve. I also had the upper and lower intake manifolds off to change the oil cooler to a doorman like you recommended.. I’ve sprayed carburetor cleaner all over the intake. Don’t appear to have any intake leaks. But when I pulled the PCV valve off and plug it engine start running pretty good still don’t have brakes but everything else seems normal so question have you seen brand new bad PCV valves? In all your experience? For the 3.6 Chrysler.
Thanks for the video. Mine being the transverse motor and the way you videoed the repair was excellent and will allow me to save money over someone else to do it. Thanks.
You will be my go to guy since there is not a Haynes maint. manual for my 2012 Durango 3.6. I was able to change condenser/transmission cooler by referencing you videos. Keep them coming. Thanks!!
Awesome! Thats great Solomon. Glad to see that my videos help people. Appreciate you finding my channel and for watching my videos. Its always appreciated. Dont forget to subscribe if you havent already.
Excellent detail. The end is the info I really needed. I'm getting a lot of oil back up in the intake manifold and now I know what to look for when I pull the PCV off. (I'm only at 80k).
Information greatly appreciated. I used your vids to help me change the transmission filter and plugs on my 3.6, and I just ordered an OEM PCV valve for 33.00 on Amazon.
Great and informative. I’m pretty sure my wife’s 13 300 AWD hasn’t had this done. Will check into it for sure. Thx for the information. Keep up the terrific work .
Awesome video, Dave! Getting ready to replace right side rockers/lifters. Cool to get a look at the back side of the engine - it's tight back there. Thanks once again for your outstanding work!
thank you! I have the 2014 Ram truck with the 3.6. I only have 41,000 miles so I am not due yet. That engine runs great.............never thought it needed more power.
That engine puts out almost 300 horsepower and thats from a v6 engine! Back in the days the v8 didnt even make that. Its a good engine....has a few issues but still a good engine none the less. At least you will know what to do when the mileage comes to that mark. Thanks Mike for watching and for the comment. Make sure to subscribe.
Thanks man! I got a 2012 Jeep Wrangler and need to remove the inner fender to access the bottom fastener. As soon as I get the replacement, this will be a nice project ;)
Actually a bit closer then you realize.....most people don’t know (the name confuses people) that I am actually located in Augusta Georgia so if you ever have some thing you need worked on and the distance isn’t an issue....let me know. Thanks for the kind words about the video and make sure to subscribe if you haven’t already.
As always - I appreciate your time. The 3.5 motor eats oil - plugs are dry and no blow back on air filter - no smoke. I guess it's time to change the PCV valve.
Man, I appreciate you very much. Thank you very much. I benefited a lot from every word you said to us Thank you and I will continue to support you 👍 شكرا لك اتمنى لك حياة سعيدة
Its words like this that keep me motivated. Many thanks and glad that I can share these videos with others. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already
Havent had any experience with them so far so not sure if there is any real advantages with using one. I dont see carbon build up due to oil in the intake on these engines so doesnt feel like something that is really needed from all the ones that I have worked on.
Pain in the rear to get to, is an understatement on the Jeep Wrangler JKU. The whole right side valve cover removal is a huge pain. I had the tick on the driver's side rocker, so I replaced those. The tensioner chain accidentally got moved, so now it has to be re timed. The only way to do that is to take half the engine apart. I have just under 100k miles, so I'm replacing the timing chain assembly, belts, water pump, all the lifters and rockers. At least I won't have to service anything else for a while.
With the engine out of the vehicle it is easier to see the location. Great job on the description of the project. I neither have front wheel drive nor rear wheel drive. Its a 4x4 wrangler. So I'm assuming the same process for a rear wheel drive project. Will figure it out. But at least I have an idea where it is. PCV valve
Hello again Dave. I appreciate the information. It's not relevant now but it is to somebody and it may be to me in the future as well. That's the great thing about posting a video. You never know who it might help.
I know this video is old but I wanted to thank you for posting it anyway. I purchased a bit ratchet which helped. I have a 2012 Jeep wrangler with the 3.6L and I had to remove the inner fender cover to access the pcv valve lower screw. My wife has smaller hands and was able to work the upper screw. Together we were able to replace the pcv valve. Next time I'll just remove the valve cover. I hate Fiat!!!
Where is the bank 1 sensor 2 O2 sensor on the 2014 avenger with the pentastar. I used your videos to do my oil cooler/housing and you saved me a ton! Now I gotta do this 02 sensor. Thank you!
Bank 1 will be on the same side as cylinder 1.....meaning on the side closest to the firewall on that vehicle (fwd) and the sensor 2 is after the catalytic converter. Hope that helps. Thanks for the question and for watching these videos.
Nicely done, you're attention to detail is most appreciated! Just curious when you'll be uploading a DIY trans dipstick video for the 62TE. I thought I heard you hint about an upcoming video a while back but I guess I'm a little impatient... just had the dealer seal my transfer gear cover (a second time... guess it's a bit tricky with getting a good seal with RTV) and I'm paranoid about verifying proper fluid level now. Keep up the good work Dave!
I will try to work on that some time soon. Eric over at South Main Auto did a video on it in the mean time if that helps. I just need to get off my rear and do one myself lol.
Wipe your motor oil stick off really well while the engine is running stick it in the transmission dipstick hole at 191 degrees and should be between 34 mm and 46 mm up the dipstick. When the transmission fluid completely warmed up after driving it is about 191 degrees to 200 degrees. The motor oil dipstick will stop when bottomed down the transmission dipstick hole but if you want to be sure it is getting all the way down there An approximate distance the dipstick should be inserted into the fill tube is 424mm.
Not sure if you’ll get this, David, since a lot of your videos were released years ago. But thank you so much for all that you do - just flat out amazing videos and I’m so thankful that I found them. I would be making so many mistakes without your explanations. I notice that in a lot of your videos you do your explanation with the engine out of the vehicle. If I could have one wish on one of your future videos - it would be your process of removing the engine from the vehicle. Even if it’s not going through the entire process in a step by step video- perhaps just walking through the steps to do it. I’ve taken the tranny out a few times and one of my primary questions is if it would be better to take the engine out from the top and what kind of clearance issues are we talking. Anyhow, just a thought for a possible future video. Either way - thanks so much David - I’ll take what I can get!
On my 2016 Ram I actually found the bottom bolt easier to access from the bottom. I had to remove the wiring harness attached to the valve. It also may be easier to access if you remove the shroud around the wheel, more labor intensive though. My repair book said to tighten the bolts to 35 inch/lbs as well.
So I think I might have to replace this soon. Currently have a 2012 Jeep JK with the 3.6 for the past few months for the first time ever I've been having to add a little bit of oil here in there between oil changes there's definitely nothing leaking but I've noticed more oil in the in my J&L oil catch can I have.
This dude is a master mechanic.....he should be a Teacher/Instructor....explained the process step by step.....WOW!!!!! OUTSTANDING VIDEO!!!!!
Thanks Andrew for the great feedback and kind words!

For those who have a 3.6 Wrangler read carefully, such details are not available anywhere even in Chrysler Service info so
save yourself the hassle
1- The PCV is on the right/passenger bank, mounted in the back facing the firewall, there is absolutely no clearance for a traditional 1/4 drive ratchet + T25 Torx bit to be used in the removal of the 2 screws, the only tool gonna work for you is 7:17 a T25 bit ratchet.
2- There is noway of accessing the screws from the Top of the engine nor from the bottom so in order of making an access you have to remove the battery, TPIM, air box,EVAP canister purge valve and you have to slide the power steering reservoir towards the inside, once you remove all these things tilt up the plastic carrier from the firewall side, there is no need to remove it completely as the TIMP harness will be sitting on it from the front side yet this will give you enough clearance to accomplish the job.

Nice video. Extremely well thought out.
Many thanks. Appreciate it. Make sure to subscribe
With the engine out of the vehicle it is easier to see the location. Great job on the description of the project. I neither have front wheel drive nor rear wheel drive. Its a 4x4 wrangler. So I'm assuming the same process for a rear wheel drive project. Will figure it out. But at least I have an idea where it is. PCV valve
Good detail video, we have the 2016 Wrangler sport, less than 100K, doing the work to save $ as we all know, if we have the tools, uses em!
Going to attempt this job on my 11 jeep grand Cherokee 3.6l. Thank for the video it was informative.
Your welcome. Thanks for watching. Make sure to subscribe.
Did you ever do that job? How was it?
This was the best walkthrough on the PCV, thanks so much for all the useful information
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback!
Loved this video and way of explaining it with a very clear and calm speech. Wonderful and amazing..
Hello again Dave. I appreciate the information. It's not relevant now but it is to somebody and it may be to me in the future as well. That's the great thing about posting a video. You never know who it might help.
I know this video is old but I wanted to thank you for posting it anyway.
I purchased a bit ratchet which helped. I have a 2012 Jeep wrangler with the 3.6L and I had to remove the inner fender cover to access the pcv valve lower screw. My wife has smaller hands and was able to work the upper screw. Together we were able to replace the pcv valve. Next time I'll just remove the valve cover. I hate Fiat!!!
Where is the bank 1 sensor 2 O2 sensor on the 2014 avenger with the pentastar. I used your videos to do my oil cooler/housing and you saved me a ton! Now I gotta do this 02 sensor. Thank you!
Bank 1 will be on the same side as cylinder 1.....meaning on the side closest to the firewall on that vehicle (fwd) and the sensor 2 is after the catalytic converter. Hope that helps. Thanks for the question and for watching these videos.
@@MotorCityMechanic how do you reckon I get to it. I've been trying for hours from underneath and the top doesnt look any easier
I'll be watching the video on changing my spark plugs next. Thanks for the lesson😁
Nicely done, you're attention to detail is most appreciated! Just curious when you'll be uploading a DIY trans dipstick video for the 62TE. I thought I heard you hint about an upcoming video a while back but I guess I'm a little impatient... just had the dealer seal my transfer gear cover (a second time... guess it's a bit tricky with getting a good seal with RTV) and I'm paranoid about verifying proper fluid level now. Keep up the good work Dave!
I will try to work on that some time soon. Eric over at South Main Auto did a video on it in the mean time if that helps. I just need to get off my rear and do one myself lol.
Wipe your motor oil stick off really well while the engine is running stick it in the transmission dipstick hole at 191 degrees and should be between 34 mm and 46 mm up the dipstick. When the transmission fluid completely warmed up after driving it is about 191 degrees to 200 degrees. The motor oil dipstick will stop when bottomed down the transmission dipstick hole but if you want to be sure it is getting all the way down there An approximate distance the dipstick should be inserted into the fill tube
is 424mm.
You did a great job, explaining the pcv,. Can you make a video on a 300 2014 3.6 how to take the top intake, so I can get to oil pressure sensor...
MotorCity Mechanic, You guys rock thank you for the location of the pcv, great video and information.
Thank you sir! Glad to be able to help. Make sure to subscribe and hang around and watch a few of my other videos as well.
Very well executed 👍!
Dislikes are from the viewers who didn't have 3 minutes to spare.
thats a crazy lookin pcv valve
It certainly isnt the typical version that we are all used to thats for sure. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
Another Great Video, Thanks Dave.
Thank you David
Your welcome. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. Make sure to subscribe.
Awesome explanation ....... thank you!!! However (from a Design Engineer) the word you are looking for is tight clearances, not tight tolerances.
Not sure if you’ll get this, David, since a lot of your videos were released years ago. But thank you so much for all that you do - just flat out amazing videos and I’m so thankful that I found them. I would be making so many mistakes without your explanations. I notice that in a lot of your videos you do your explanation with the engine out of the vehicle. If I could have one wish on one of your future videos - it would be your process of removing the engine from the vehicle. Even if it’s not going through the entire process in a step by step video- perhaps just walking through the steps to do it. I’ve taken the tranny out a few times and one of my primary questions is if it would be better to take the engine out from the top and what kind of clearance issues are we talking. Anyhow, just a thought for a possible future video. Either way - thanks so much David - I’ll take what I can get!
On my 2016 Ram I actually found the bottom bolt easier to access from the bottom. I had to remove the wiring harness attached to the valve. It also may be easier to access if you remove the shroud around the wheel, more labor intensive though. My repair book said to tighten the bolts to 35 inch/lbs as well.
Great video again thanks fir the time you put into making them
I've learned so much from your videos. Thank you very much!!!

So I think I might have to replace this soon. Currently have a 2012 Jeep JK with the 3.6 for the past few months for the first time ever I've been having to add a little bit of oil here in there between oil changes there's definitely nothing leaking but I've noticed more oil in the in my J&L oil catch can I have.
