This Genuine OEM part is the 53032786AC Crankcase Vent Hose, specifically designed for 2003-2004 Dodge Ram models with a 5.7 engine. This component is a critical part of the vehicle’s Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system, responsible for venting harmful gases from the crankcase back into the combustion chamber for re-burning. If the current vent hose in your vehicle is clogged or leaking, replacing it with this genuine OEM part will help maintain proper engine pressure, prevent oil leaks, and reduce harmful emissions.
This item is indeed a brand new, genuine part, directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s packaging. It’s not an aftermarket piece but the exact same part that you would acquire from a new car dealership.

1. Begin by locating the crankcase vent hose on your engine. It should connect the PCV valve to the intake manifold.

3. Carefully pull the old hose off the PCV valve and intake manifold.
4. Install the new vent hose, ensuring it fits snugly onto the PCV valve and intake manifold.
