2008 Jeep Liberty - PCV Valve Replacement
PCV valve and hose to intake manifold replacement on my 2008 Jeep Liberty KK. 3.7 Liter V6 Engine. I couldn’t find a good video on this, so I made one. I’m no mechanic. They say this is the same valve on the 2007-2012 Model year Liberty.
Parts:
PCV Valve: Mopar 53034065AA PCV Valve
Hose: PCV Valve To Intake Manifold Hose - Mopar (53032993AF)

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. The P0507 code came up and I changed the valve but if I didn't watch this first I wouldn't have been prepared. Seeing the rubber elbows would tear off so easily saved me a trip. Finding that hose was impossible on a Sunday so I used 2 ft of tubing $4.00 ($36 for the hard to find hose part) & ran it against the firewall. The elbows are easier to find than the plastic hose if your sure the problem is with the rubber elbows.

A huge thank you for this video. I have a 08 Liberty limited and my hose busted in the bend of the hose. I taped it up with electrical tape until I can afford to buy replacement parts. It’s worked for a little while but now my entire vehicle is jumping around and a mechanic said it was bcz of the hose. Should I replace the valve too? Someone said Jeep lists it as a maintenance part that needs to be replaced every 50,000 miles. Again thanks for the video

I’m not a mechanic, but it was relatively inexpensive, so I replaced the valve too. I’m sure mine hadn’t been done in all 130k+ miles.

My hose broke in the same exact spot at 160k miles. Going back and swapping the valve now at 180k.

Great vid thanks so much! I was wondering do you happen to know how many foot pounds this needs to be torqued down to (the PCV value)? Or is hand tightening sufficient?

I do not know. I just did it until it was snug

@@swatscorner BE CAREFUL!!! There is no torque spec that I was able to find in the Hanes manual, it just reads "tighten until secure". In my mind that means "bottom it out and give a little extra twist for good measure". Well, don't make the mistake that I did: I kept wrenching and wrenching waiting for the d@mn thing to hit bottom and it just NEVER did. It got a *little* tighter, but nothing that made me think, "yep, here's the bottom". Well, notice that the PCV valve is tapered at the top of the treads, not flat. So, yeah... I ended up cracking my cylinder head with hardly any effort. Also, all the d@mn sealant tape peeled off as I was threading the thing in. There really should be better instructions out there. Simple job turned into a nightmare.

They're tapered threads so tighten until snug.

From eBay. I think it’s this (inline heater core filter from VE Labs): www.ebay.com/itm/134442769985?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=e7TCd_mWRzC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=MDEsiP-OTYS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
It sketches me out working under my liberty hood, it is unnessarily heavy and that prop rod is flimsy

Yes, I was glad to install the struts on it. Should’ve made a video of that mod. Great mod

@@swatscorner I ended up doing the same, I still use a prop rod with the struts, if something were to bump the hood it's still coming down from how heavy it is.
Was there any difference after the change?
