Yes I would agree, you need to repleace the PCV vavlve is when it no
longer rattles. I was told that when you shake it in your hand and you
don't hear anything that it needs replaced, if it rattles a little then
it is still good.
I get a raddle from my PVC valve but you are not able to hear it unless
you have your ear under the hood.
Thanx, Brian

>>I hear a small ticking noise in my engine bay.
I just happened to be checking the operation of the PCV valve a couple
of days ago and found that the PCV valve rattles quite loudly at idle.
Perhaps this is the noise you are hearing...? You can check by idling
your truck and pulling the PCV valve from the valve cover. You will know
if it is the source of the noise.
I don't believe that this indicates that the PCV valve should be
replaced, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
