Nissan Frontier PCV Valve Replacement 2005 - 2019 2nd Gens 

Helps when you have a bad degenerative back.

Haha gotta find the easy route sometimes!

@@AGuyandHisProjects Guys with bad backs. the real only way to enjoy! Thanks.

Glad I can help!

You’ve got to be joking right? He says the truck has 228,000 miles on it and it’s the original PCV valve, And only now he feels it’s time for it to be replaced! That would be quite the opposite of a wealth of knowledge! If he had any clue on how a modern internal combustion engine works he would not have let that valve go for that long! My advice stop searching RU-vid in hopes to learn any good information about automotive repair unless it is a real certified mechanic! Don’t believe me just Google what happens to an engine when a PCV valve is not replaced regularly! Anybody can sound smart when you’re only hearing one side! And if you were trying to save money do not let your PCV valve go for 220,000 miles! Open the owners manual in there it’ll tell you the service intervals for most items on your vehicle! The information is not there for the dealer to make money it is there to help you maintain your vehicle! If you want to know everything you need to know about your vehicle get a subscription to www.alldatadiy.com/?affiliate_id=93770&click_id=3312654394&clickId=3312654394 it will tell you every little thing you need to know about your vehicle! Recalls, TSB’s, part numbers, where are the parts are located, Torque specifications, how to replace every single item on your vehicle and how long it should take to replace an item! It even has diagrams installation procedures and more! And no I have no association with them whatsoever other than Personal use in my shop! Good luck!

Thanks for watching! I totally agree with keeping up on maintenence and replacing parts as needed. Appreciate your thoughts. Keep in mind I AM NOT A MECHANIC, never claimed to be. The purpose of this video is more to show people a way to replace the valve themselves. Not all of us can afford to pay a professional lol.

Dang, $500 goes quick these days! Glad I can help

@@AGuyandHisProjects Second attempt with angled long needle nose pliers took about an hour and I let my 11 yr old do some of the work. Thanks again.

You are most welcome!

Thanks for posting that!

@@AGuyandHisProjects saw lots of questions about it and thought I could help. Thank you for the content, it was really helpful to fix my friend's Xterra.

You are most welcome!

Thanks for watching! Yeah, makes things frustrating for sure haha!

Thanks got watching, glad I can help!

You are most welcome!

Thanks! Kind of a pain to get to, but worth checking out

You are most welcome!

You are welcome, thanks for watching!

Haha!

Tell me about it. Did mine today, what an exercise for a short guy like me. Just wish I had a PCV valve in hand while the plenum was already out of the way.

Haha, thanks!

You are most welcome

Most welcome!

Thanks for watching! I went at it from the top

...If you are lucky anyway. Some like mine are so hardened they simply break. I just picked up a project Jeep that is 27 years old and never really touched. Been breaking just about every piece of plastic and rubber under the hood lol

Glad I could help! Yeah it was a much larger PIA than I imagined getting that thing out haha!

jod well done

Thank you!

The old valve on my 2007 seemed larger than 23 but very loose on the 24mm socket and I had difficulty turning it. I used a 15/16" to remove it. The replacement was clearly a standard 24mm.

For me it was leaking oil at the o ring. As cheap as they are I figured I might as well replace the whole unit rather than just the o ring. After taking this video i also replaced the entire hose as it broke on me during the replacement

Thanks for watching! No codes, but it was leaking oil which prompted the switch. I could have just changed the o-ring but for $10 i changed the whole thing

Thanks for watching and the comment! Glad to have you :) I do not have a video on that as of yet but I'll see what I can do in the future. I'm hoping to buy a project frontier soon and make it into a trail truck

That one I did mainly as preventative maintenance.

bought a new hose, i think if it gives me issues when i do it, ill just cut the hose off to get the clamps and just remove the pcv valve with it...

Thank you...should have thought of that myself. Thanks again. @@charles-fq2dw

Thanks for watching! I do not have a link for that but the Part number I installed was 11823EA20A

It's been minute lol, likely my local auto parts store though

Hello, I ended up purchasing straight from Nissan Dealership. It was actually reasonably priced. Thanks for respinding

I don't know anything about those ones!

Thanks for watching! My PCV wasn't actually bad, it was leaking oil at the oring. I changed the whole valve as opposed to just the oring.

Thanks for watching! The ones in the video are 285/75/16's. About 3" in the rear with a custom leaf pack from Alcan (all lift built into the leaf pack) and the front is rocking the SPC upper control arms and Radflow 2.0 adjustable coilovers for about 3.5"

Thanks!

Thanks! 2"Alcan leaf springs in rear and 3" up front

I have the part number listed down in the video description. The website I bought from is no longer active so you'll have to copy/paste the part number into Google or wherever

Thanks for watching! It was not burning oil, however it was leaking oil through the o'ring on the valve

Thanks for watching! I believe I have the part number listed in the video description

Hahaha I feel the pain!

That'll work!

Lol, a little patience and a skinny arm and it isn't too horrible. More annoying that anything if I remember right!

It was the most annoying job ever. You have to take the passenger tire and wheel well liner out, intake, and a bunch of other shit

Lol, sounds like a PIA!

Gloves to protect the back of the hand are key to doing this job. When broke/cheap or working through a beat up truck a dap of RTV sealant and a wrap of tape will work for for the split hose ends.

Thanks for watching! Because I didn't have another one lol. I ordered and replaced soon after. 3:19 explains that.
