I hope to get my new Ram 2500 within the next 2 weeks, and I want to install an oil catch can on my 6.4L. I have a Jeep SRT with the 6.4L and one of the first things that was recommended after I purchase the vehicle was an oil catch can. I have a Billet Tech catch can and it works great. I called them and they have not installed one on a 2500 Ram yet, only a 1500. My Question is if you have a catch can which one are you using and would the one for the 1500 work on the 2500, since it the same motor? Thanks D.
 

Installed the UPR www.uprproducts.com Universal Billet Oil Catch Can C5032-S on my 2019 Laramie 2500 6.4 gasser. Mounted it to the side of the air cleaner box with the Round Bracket B5032-01-1. Highly recommend the Oil Can Drain Line Kit H5032-49. When changing the engine oil, simply slide the pan underneath and turn the valve, super convenient. I’ll send pics as quick as possible. Good folks to work with as well… purchased a hand full of parts I wound up not needing, hassle free return. Installed the same unit on the wife’s 2022 Durango R/T Plus and ordering one for my recently purchased 2023 Durango SRT. Cheers​

How’d you manage that? To my understanding installing a catch can on a Ram 6.4 requires drilling holes in intake parts because there’s no access to the pcv air path.
 
What!?! No drilling required… the PVC valve is located on the passenger side rear of the motor. Tell ya what, too much to type, let me take some pics for ya. BTW, apologies for the tardy response. Cheers
 
I had one on my Raptor, it was amazing how much oil was in the can every 7,000 miles. I liked it. I'm sure lomg term it's a benefit

So what is the best way to try and keep the intake system clean from the oil coming in ? Throttle body cleaner / Seafoam etc.
 
I’m intrigued as well… gonna have a conversation with my MOPAR hot rod mechanic in attempts to obtain a workable solution. Stay Tuned. Cheers
 
No sure how much this helps or if it's been posted previously. Has anyone performed this operation on a 2019 Laramie 2500? Cheers
 
Very well, the search continues. However, it's difficult to believe there isn't a custom setup of some sort out there somewhere, nor have I been able to locate a video on how change the PCV valve. So, I'm going to attempt obtaining a schematic from my mopar guy and ferret it out. Cheers
 
Why are you guys trying to fix a problem that you don't even know exists? Just change the PCV valve (basically an orifice) every 30k. If you're worried about it use the Seafoam intake cleaner with the straw attachment through the throttle body once in a blue moon to clean anything out and just run the thing.

Just be glad the Hemi never used direct injection and that your intake valves will remain clean....
 
Valid point and sound advice however, there are those among us that like to tinker. Ancillary to that, changing the valve on these particular models is apparently a challenge. When 30k rolls around, it would be nice to have something to reference for the procedure. As previously stated, I’m experiencing difficulty with locating a shop manual and/or youtube video for reference. I detest going to the stealership with something I'm capable of doing. Cheers

Its super easy. Just grab the little tab in the center of the valve and rotate it counter clockwise about 90 degrees - this clears the locking tabs and then it can be drawn straight upwards and out.
 
If the discussion was about a 6.4 in a Durango, that advice would be applicable as the valve sits atop the manifold on the passenger side. However, the 6.4 in the Laramie 2500 is a different configuration. As I understand it, the valve is located underneath the manifold. Therein lies the rub. Cheers
