Ram 1500 PCV & Breather Components

A PCV system is essential for overall operation of your Ram 1500, because it evacuates gasses from the crankcase of your truck’s engine directing them back into combustion chambers through an intake manifold. A malfunctioning PCV system may affect emissions, fuel efficiency, and overall performance of your pickup. There are some signs that will warn you about the need for servicing this system. If the PCV valve of your truck has a leak, you will experience excessive oil consumption and oil leaks beneath the truck. In this case, you may need to replace your PCV valve.

When your PCV valve starts going bad, a filter also known as a breather may become contaminated with oil and hydrocarbons. You may also notice increased fuel consumption, so in case it increases without a reason, take your truck to a mechanic and have the PCV valve checked. If you suspect PCV valve failure, inspect a breather for buildup. A failed valve may not close, causing oxygen to get into the combustion chamber. In this case, an air and fuel mixture will be diluted, resulting in poor performance of your truck. To keep it running smoothly and bring back optimal fuel efficiency, take a look at our catalog of Ram 1500 PCV and breather components – here you will find everything needed to get the job done.
