    PVC Valve for 96 RT10

    Called Chuck Tator for help... turns out my local Chrysler dealer had two mislabeled PCV valves in stock. I stop by another dealer today asked for the same part number (5175351AA) and got the right part. :2tu:

    PVC Valve for 96 RT10

    PCV Valve for 96 RT10 Hi all, My 96 RT10 has 15K on it so I am flushing ALL the fluids and replacing the sparks plugs, etc. Everything was going fine until I found out that dodge seems to have discontinued the PCV valve for my engine. Can anyone confirm this is true. I was told by the local...

    I broke somthing....

    Thanks for the replies! I called a local deaer to see what the cost of parts were for the dif, and found that the gears themselves can't be bought separately from the entire assembly. Any tips on sourcing new gears? I found that all bearings cost about $275.00 total.

    So it turns out it was the rear dif that has gone. Tech says that the main bearing failed and threw a bunch of metal into the diff. :dunno: A few questions for anyone who would be kind enough to respond... Quoted $3660 for a new diff and labor, does that seem fair? What about repairing...
