Im even scared to ask why my friend.

How is the new PCV valve different/better? :confused:
HP gain?:D

The fact that they revised the part# tells you they changed it. I did this when I installed the oil seperator.

You mentioned it on a phone call last week, It just hit me yesterday and I ordered it from my dealer with my tech friends discount ;)

Hey its been a hell of a month. :D

Just incase you're wondering what a PCV Valve does (like I was :D ).

Read below the most important paragraph in the entire article, the PCV is $5 bucks, do the math.

It is critical that the parts of the PCV system be kept clean and open, otherwise air flow will be insufficient. A plugged or malfunctioning PCV system will eventually damage an engine.

So with this simple swap, is the catch can still necessary?

At minimum, I would do the catch can. Replace PCV valve if you want, but leave catch can on.

I went through the same thing with Ford several years back - 'stronger' PCV valves, etc. still caught oil in catch can, no matter what the revised part numbers were.

Been running them on my vehicles ever since. For Jeep, it started collecting oil on day one, and the occasional white puff is gone. Exhaust tips seem cleaner - they don't seem to get black too quickly, although I realize alot is from our Jeeps running rich.

I am a believer in the catch can theory.

This is annoying...since I didn't get a part # from this thread...my dealer can't order the new one for me. The part # they show in their computer is:

5037-831AA

He says there are 152 of these sitting in the warehouse, and most likely it's OLD stock since it's dealer stock.

There is not TSB listing for this either.

Can someone PLEASE POST the REVISED part #.

kthanks.

Agreed... Some dealers will still have the old ones layin' around

Well not only that...but his computer didn't even SHOW any other existing part #. So he couldn't order it, since to his DCX computer a "new" or "revised" one does not exist.

So...a new part # would really help, if in fact there is a new one.

Hey Inferno if you bought one and installed it then you must have the part# somewhere. I think that alot of people would be interested in this.

Its the same part# but with the 3 additional numbers after the part# are different, I dont have the slip with me its in my work truck if I can see it off my PCV ill post it later.

I don't see one either. I come up with the same part numer as mango, for 06 and an 07.

Yeah this is a mystery we need to solve. hehe
