Hey guys,
Hoping maybe someone can suggest something new here.
One random Wednesday, my truck throws a CEL, starts misfiring, slugish etc. Check codes, looks like the OCV solenoid in my Ram went bad.
Pulled my intake manifold to change the OCV and found the caps on all MDS solenoids were rusted to **** and looked pretty nasty. My MDS made a bit of noise before anyway, so figured it'd be a good idea to replace all of them while I had it taken apart.
Old ones were a hell of a fight to pull out. Caps on top broke off all four. Had to put a screw into them and use that to pull them out.
New solenoids go in, put everything back together.
Truck runs fine except... MDS won't engage. Now it's throwing a P3441.
I can clear codes, start driving down the road, MDS will engage for maybe 5 sec, then disable and throw the P3441 code again.
Most commonly people end up finding a bad MDS solenoid for this code, but these are brand new and purchased direct from Mopar. Wiring was good before replacing the solenoid. Oil pressure is good, so maybe clogged oil passage?
Anyone have suggestions?
