Tune-up question on a WK?

[iJeep]

Other then the plugs, what else do I need to get a full tune-up on my 05 WK?
Thanks :)

[Nand12]

Air filter, PCV Valve, Inspect/Replace Serpentine Belt, Wipe out throttle body, Change oil, Change both front and rear differential fluid with 75W-140 synthetic (add Mopar friction modifier if you have Quadra-DRIVE II), Change transfer case fluid.

[LTrainGC]

I am coming up on 60K miles... when I get there, gotta do the following:

- Oil/filter
- F&R diffs
- TC
- Transmission
- Spark plugs
- Inspect ignition cables (replace if necessary)
- PCV valve
- Check belts (replace if necessary)

Does anyone have a picture of where the pcv valve is located and how to service it on an 06 with the 4.7L?

The PCV valve is located on the oil fill tube (the tube that you fill oil through when you are done changing the oil). It has one hose attached to it that you need to remove (might be a little tight but twisting it back and forth while yanking should get it off). Then turn the valve 90 degrees clockwise (you will be facing the driver's side fender while standing at the passenger side fender so clockwise should be turning towards the front of the vehicle) and pull out. Then follow directions in reverse to put new one in (I got a new one at NAPA for all of $6 vs. the dealer's price of almost $20 and they look identical, so I'd be willing to bet that it's the same manufacturer). I'll take a pic later on and post it up so you can see exactly where the valve is.

[mjl2610]

Well I was able to check and replace the one on my moms 03 WJ 4.7 HO engine. This motor does infact have the valve located where you said it was. However, on my 06 4.7L there is no valve here on the oil fill tube.

[AcidCold]

Royal Purple is some very good stuff my man!

[scottydog]

The 06 4.7 pcv is on the driver's side, towards the firewall.

[AcidCold]

PVC is on the passenger side right on the oil fill on my 05. can take a picture if need to.

[iJeep]

^^ Yes, can you?.. Thanks


Royal Purple is the only oil I use BTW..

[NHWK05]

Wow, this is a wealth of info i was wondering about.

[mjl2610]

The 06 4.7 pcv is on the driver's side, towards the firewall.
I only have 36,600 miles on the Jeep so i don't think i need to replace it yet. But i was just wondering where it was for future reference. Is it also easily accessible or is it hidden away? Ill try to take a look tomorrow.

I HIGHLY recommend that you change it because I replaced mine at 33000 miles and it was sticking.

Dang I've got 56K miles on mine.... maybe I'll replace it this week just for the hell of it.

[mjl2610]

Well all I could find on the motor was this thing with the light blue collar in the center of the pic, and what i assume a vacuum tube on it. Is this the pcv valve on this motor?

Does anyone know how hard/Much$ it is to do a fuel filter?

[LTrainGC]

Does anyone know how hard/Much$ it is to do a fuel filter?

Per wkjeeps.com:

Two fuel filters are used. One is located at the bottom of the fuel pump module, the other is located inside the module. A separate frame mounted fuel filter is not used with any gasoline engine. They do not require normal scheduled maintenance. Filters should only be replaced if a diagnostic procedure indicates to do so.

[NHWK05]

Sweet, One less thing to do.

[AcidCold]

I'll get a picture up tonight of the PVC Valve on my 4.7

[mjl2610]

Thanks for the pic. That is definitely located in that position for 2000-2005 Wj/WK 4.7 and HO engines as i have already replaced it on my mothers WJ. However i am still waiting for a confirmation on the 06 and newer. These current pics will be a good resource for those with the 05 and older motors! On my above post shows the pic of my fill tube, sans the valve.

[Scottina06]

[Scottina06]

I dont think thats it....but it could be....LOL

[NHWK05]

Warning with the PCV, be very careful removing it. Try and do it while the engine is warm and twist it out gently, it can break off the tube that it plugs in to.

[scottydog]

:thumbsup:On the 06 4.7 the thing in the back with the blue collar is the pcv. When you buy a new one it has a blue collar. It's not the easiest to get to.

[ahamay115]

does anyone know about the pcv valve on the 06 5.7? The manual says that it needs replaced at 30,000 miles, but napa, advance, and autozone all say they don't have one for the hemi!! Any confirmation on this or are my local stores just full of s***

Thanks guys!
-Chris

[Matt]

Wow, awesome thread... thanks guys for all the input thus far.

I just hit 60,000 (well 65,000) and with the help from this thread and wkjeeps I plan to do (remember, I'm 2wd):

- Transmission (fluid = Mopar® ATF +4, type 9602 /filter = p/n 5015267AC (http://wkjeeps.com/misc/trans_filter_5015267ac.jpg), p/n 4799662 (http://wkjeeps.com/misc/trans_filter_4799662.jpg))
- Spark plugs [Mopar p/n SPRE14MCC4 (Champion 570) (0.045 gap, 16 plugs, tighten to 13 ft. lbs.*)]
- Axles (Mopar® SAE 75W-140 Synthetic)
- PCV valve (53032531AE)
- Serpentine drive belt (p/n 53013676AC )
- Lubricate brake caliper pins
- Cabin filter
- Power steering fluid (check)
- Inspect ignition cables (replace if necessary)

My oil/filter is on its own schedule (just changed it actually) and I am replacing my brake pads soon.

Questions:

Is there anything than I am missing?

Anything that seems unnecessary?

I hate other people working on my Jeep, is there any of this that I can do myself (aside from the cabin filter and PCV valve)?

[Robert Palmer]

In the next week or two, I am doing another tune up. Last one I did was at 20k.


Everything is getting changed.


I know I know, its a lease. Well to those..............














STFU. :D :lol:

[LO.7]

What are you getting done Joe?

I'm thinking about swapping out my spark plugs soon.. I'm almost at 45k.

[Robert Palmer]

Everything.


Plugs
Tcase, Trans, Diffs, Power Steering, Coolant Flush,
PVC Valve

And anything else it needs.

[LO.7]

gotcha.. I replaced the transmission, T case, and Front/Rear diffs about 10k ago, so should be good on that front for a while.

[Robert Palmer]

Yeah you dont drive like me so it should be good. :D :lol:

I usually do this service every 15-20k. Time is up.

[LO.7]

^^ That is very safe to say. lol

[Scottina06]

wastin your pops money Joe.........

[Robert Palmer]

Hey! Watch it Mister. :lol:

[ahamay115]

anyone know anything about the pcv valve for the hemi? is it a dealer only item?

Thanks!

[WSP Jeep]

How often do you 4x4 guys change your diff's?

[jeepnjeep]

How often do you 4x4 guys change your diff's?

Around every 30,000 for me.

[iJeep]

According with the manufacture, every 33K

[JeepGuy026]

Im Wondering the Same Where is the PCV On the 5.7 Hemi 2006? Ive never changed it, i did to plugs at 36k, took forever but well worth it i used Champion Iridium i Beleive, and had the whole 4x4 service done at 33k. Runs Excellent. But im not sure where the PCV is and how much it is, cause ill replace it if its to keep my jeep in good working order.

[Megatron]

I'm at 25k. and my uncle takes care of everything. I don't know much besides what the manual tells me. Can any of you guys enlighten a fellow member?

When and what should I look out for in the next "tune/checkup".

-Thanks

Bump.

PCV valve for the 5.7l

I took some pics of the oil filler tube and see a ~3/4" tube connected to it, but it doesn't appear that there is any sort of valve. Does the 5.7l have a PCV valve? NAPA doesn't have one listed on its site.

^^^
The shop manual says that it does have a PCV valve and to change it at 30,000 miles, but I have yet to find any parts store that has one...haven't gotten around to calling the dealership, but I'm at a loss for it. Anyone else have any info? I would really appreciate it also!!!

Yeah, it's definitely in the manual.

Does it have to be located right at the oil filling tube or could it be further down that hose connected to it...?

Yeah, I just got back from the dealership (trying to get my maintenance records printed) and asked them where it was, lol. But yeah, I can confirm that that is the PCV valve.

Looks like the front are the same, C200F or C200FE (w/ELSD)

The rears are different C213R or C213RE vs. D44, but fluid change procedures are the same. Same fluid too, just no limited slip additive in the SRT8

Just wondering...

I didn't notice any info on this thread for replacing the PCV valve on an 05 with the 5.7L engine. Is this something relatively simple that could be done easily? Should the oil be drained first? Is the part inexpensive? Paying the dealership ridiculous amounts of money for service is anathema to me, especially since I know these regular maintenance jobs are simple in principle.

Problem is...I don't have a wide array of tools, or a garage, or a level surface to work on, or any experience aside from simple oil changes. So, I probably put off some maintenance longer than I should.

I recently had my tranny fluid checked and I was told I'm not in need of a change but I have no idea when (or if) the filters were replaced and I'm getting some miles on my Jeep. I recently had the diffs and xfer case done (stupid expensive at the dealer but I didn't really trust anyone else to do it right) so I'm not too worried about that. Serp belt looks good. Thanks for the help...

[Frankie]

When I had my PCV replaced at the dealership, it was ...

http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/3880/pcvq.jpg

[Matt]

I paid $27 bucks for my PCV valve from Moparpartsamerica and installed it myself... if you can unscrew the oil filler cap you install the PCV valve. It's the exact same motion. Twist left to remove, twist right to install.

[Robert Palmer]

I would love to have my own garage to do the work like you guys. Seriously.

I'm jealous.

^^ Yes, can you?.. Thanks


Royal Purple is the only oil I use BTW..

Same here; noticed the improvement over Castrol full syn right away. RUns better and better mpg.

[dmsfun]

Im Wondering the Same Where is the PCV On the 5.7 Hemi 2006? Ive never changed it, i did to plugs at 36k, took forever but well worth it i used Champion Iridium i Beleive, and had the whole 4x4 service done at 33k. Runs Excellent.

SHould only use the OEM copper plugs in the Hemi with MDS; the iridiums may work for a liltle while, but when it sarts running bad, that will be the reason just so you are aware.

[dmsfun]

OK so I'm also looking for a new Hemi PCV valve and if it is a special design, unlike the cheap simple designs in all my other cars; this must explain why only Mopar carries it, as all the parts stores I called do not list it.

I ordered mine from Mopar Parts America. ~$20 bucks.

[dmsfun]

OK, found $28 bucks online for the 5.7 PCV, but costs $10 for shipping; dealer charges $42, and is 1 mile from my house. BTW, the service interval is 60k on the PCV, and 30k for under severe conditions, so mines at 50k and all still runs perfectly.

[Matt]

Take it out and shake it... if you here a rattle, put it back in and keep driving, it's fine.

[dmsfun]

$34 for the EXACT same part # for the pcv at the Chrysler dealer down the street from the Jeep dealer; whats up with that ?

Where did you find a PCV valve for $5?

[SvenskaJeepGuy]

a local parts store near me, cee kay auto. they are amazing for cheap car parts. its not mopar, its fram but it was exactly like the factory one i took off it.

[dmsfun]

THe hemi one is a much larger chrysler only dealer part and totally different animal; not a cheapo little kmart unit like the 4.7 uses.

[SvenskaJeepGuy]

its not a dealer only part, a simple google search will show it is available on hundreds of parts websites.

[maxst2]

Where you all get royal purple at? I have a 06 wk with 4.7L looking to do the xfer case and diffs myself among the other 60k mile maintenance items. With that which selections do i need to use... for diff and xfer case?

That and i noticed that there isn't anything on oxygen sensors in maintenance? Like I haven't seen any routine maintenance to replace them ( I have yet to look into the giant service manual for them... but kinda surprised the WKjeeps doesn't have it listed...or i couldn't find it. lol

[Chaoul1]

I get Royal Purple at Advance Auto Parts for Engine Oil. But I didn't like it do I went back with Mobile 1 Extended Performance.

For the Differential get 75W-140(For the Differential) and make check if you have a Limited Slip. Royal Purple already has Additive in it so you can just put it in.

[maxst2]

So what if i used royal purple with the additive and it wasn't LSD?

If you look at you're looking at the motor, it's on the left, back. It has a twist off top (with thumb/finger kind of tab).

It's on the passenger side of the intake manifold. It's in a canister near the firewall. Here's a little clearer image. It's No. 3, you'll have to twist it counter clockwise while pulling up. Mine was stuck in there pretty good.
