What pressure tester did you use

was hoping to see it work better mine started to slip a week ago has been getting wears every time I drive it

I Hava a 2022 ram 2500 with the same problem

Something else you can do, and it works just fine; enlarge the hole.

That was a huge improvement. Imagine if you had used it before your transmission was completely wrecked.

Thanks my my has this car 2012 equinox i put a new motor in becauce of the timming chain tenchiner arms fell apart ,timing chain skip and catastrophic failures

Anyone else get exaust smell in the cabin? Wonder if im too late to this trick or will this trick fix it?

Can someone tell me how to build a temporary bypass loop to get me by a few days 😊

Thanks for the video. More details than the rest

My GM truck the transmission suddenly started going sour fast. I knew the end was very near and no spare vehicle. Klunking shift and a loud clang if I'm coming to a stop fast. I tried 1 bottle of this. Nada. Second bottle and second day driving around it went noticeably better. Just long enough to arrange a rental and buy another vehicle. It muffles the sloppy worn parts noises and pushes the hydraulic pressure on the servos and clutches. My mechanic said he didn't think it was ridiculous to use it knowing that it's worn out. I think it's ideal for light wear like first signs not after the warning lights are full brightness like its screaming "Help help". Personally I would think if someone bought a used high mileage car to put 2 bottles worth + Synthetic fluid as there are no additives in Lucas.

My 2015 Equinox has had an OIL CATCH CAN installed but I drilled out the bottom and ran a hose to the ground (my bad). I also installed a vented oil cap. We are just over 100,000 miles and our Equinox isn't losing oil. We have an oil change coming up and I'm running SEAFOAM in the crankcase for a few 100 miles before that to penetrate the piston rings to clean them out a bit. We intend to run this car until it cannot run anymore. BTW - I removed the catch can bowl and you would not believe the absolute crap it is keeping out of the intake plenum. No wonder these PCV holes get plugged. One would almost wonder if this isn't a deliberate flaw engineered into these motors.

The only thing I can suggest is that you install an oil catch can on the PCV system. My son and I installed one on our 2013 GMC Terrain, 2.4ltr two years ago, and no sludge is found now. The catch can runs from the PCV Pipe coming from the engine to the Catch Can and out from the catch can into the PCV port on the throttle body cover. All the water and sludge will build up in the catch can and then you drain the sludge from the catch can. Nothing gets into the throttle body port. But, I have to say your idea of drilling a hole into the intake manifold is genius!! I think we are going to try this on our 2.4.

I don't know if anyone else has suggested this to you, but you should think about installing an Oil Catch Can to the PCV system. My son and I have gone through this routine with our 2013 GMC Terrain 2.4Lr engine. We added a catch can to ours about 2 years ago and we've had zero issues with Blowback in the PCV to Crankcase ventilation system. We didn't think about drilling a hole into the intake manifold. That is genius! I did however, drill the orifice out a little to make it bigger, but man I gotta tell ya, that is an awesome idea for cleaning that hole. Thank you for the video and installing the catch can is easy and cost about $32 from Amazon.

Great engine hack to clean the PCV. Will have to add that to mine. Thanks for the video!!

Lucky you hotter than hell here

How did this workout?

All vehicles are throw away junk now. Never buying another big three vehicle again.

Just use a #4 x 1/4" pan head sheet metal screw. The plastic is rigid enough that as long as you dont torque down in it, it wont strip the plastic and it will seal just fine.

Excellent solution. Love me a one minute presentation. Now set screw i am a nervous with and a flanged screw. Thinking about something similar foe the exhaust forced air pump system.

Automotive engineer hear and this is awesome root cause analysis and one time fix. My 2.4 thanks you for your risk taking. I have seen several, just a screw laying around and I like your solution better.

Do you think a Oil Fill Cap With PCV Vent would resolve this issue?

I’m just concerned I’m not gonna hit the hole. A lot of people say this works but it makes me nervous.

It’s much safer to pull things in reverse from the front. No chance of flipping the tractor that way, plus you can see what you’re doung

I used this product on my Lexus es300/2000yr - 310K miles.. fixed the slipping problem...

Can I come to you so you can do it for me

Did this fix work?

I noticed its a 5 pin relay but the relay socket only has 4 wires?

So same thing happened to my truck won’t start at all

So same thing happened to my truck won’t start at all

Excellent video Thank you much.

I'm looking to put one if these in my '16 ram and being able to see it in the bezel is exactly what i wanted, any updates on how its working out long term?

Would this work on a 2017 ram 1500, 5.7? I recently replaced the fuel pump worked for a week then truck stoped turning on. Fuel pump turns on I can hear it but truck won’t turn on. Had these codes on the truck P025A P062A Once fuel pump was replaced codes went away but truck doesn’t turn on, thank you

What gauge wire / type is needed for the hole? I plan on doing this soon. TY.

Well done. Great step by step and clear viewable video instructions. Thanks!

Did ours yesterday drill 1/8 hole clean it put short sheet metal screw in hole. And only snug it a little.

Am getting mad at the used car I bought.. after driving it for a month,it slips to neutral when driving it.its a Toyota auris semi automatic 07. I changed the fluid and it was normal. After some days , it happened again. I will need to off and on the car before it will engage again in the middle of the road. Am Even scared to drive it now. I took it to the mechanic and he checked and said he can't find anything 😢 that I should keep on driving it and if it occurs again I should bring it. Can Lucas do d job?

Sir I can kiss your ass. You saved me a lot of time. Need to do this to my dad's car and i never did one on GMC terrain before

clever.. maybe just tap the plastic intake and screw the screw straight in

We're could I buy the relay

What type of JB Weld did you use?

That is awesome. Got the chain. Just gotta find some pipe!

The problem with the 2.4L ECOTEC is the piston ring tension was too low. Nothing you have been would help. Except replacing the ring.

Awesome job, thanks for sharing this video

I did the 2 cam shaft position sensors or what ever they are called, the intake and exhaust and I also pulled the intake and clean the PCV valve and I have to add oil every other week. I check it every Sunday and sometimes it's low like 1/4 or 1/2 QT, but it is EVERY time. We need to find a good fox for this. So thanks for sharing this video. So you drilled a hole above the PCV valve so you can clean it when ever you want without having to take the entire intake manifold off right? Do you have a video on that process? Of drilling out the hole and setting the screw?? So you can remove the coil pack and plug and drop the B-12 Chem-tool directly down there??

If you are able to renovate this old car back to life, please do so. It will take a pile of work and heaps of money. Best wishes to the one who does.

Why do you keep saying the timing belt was changed? That engine uses a chain, not a belt

I have one and i love mine

If my fuel pump is priming, with the key in the on position, could the relay still be the issue? I just changed my fuel pump and it ran fine for a few days but now I have a crank but no start. Fuel pump is priming like normal but no fuel comes out of the line when disconnected from the fuel rail.

Hi nice video can i know you cut the wires or split from harness? Also you remove fuse of fuel pump in tipm permanently ? Its same wires on 2015 ram 1500 ecodiesel?

You sound like you would wait until the frame had rotted into 3 or 4 pieces and then spritz it with Rust Check on the way to the junk yard just so you could say "I told you so!"
