As far as I know, the timing cover must come off to replace the crank seal. Probably not what you want to hear.

grab a service manual if you dont already have one, you should be able to tell from the pics if it is possible or not.

I find you are usually better off to pull the cover to inspect and check all the bolts.
I have changed a few on the truck and it's not too much of a pain. The trick is to get the depth right. But you can go beyond flush a bit if you have a small leak and it'll seal it right up. Dave

I never even thought about this until Dave chimed in. While you have the cover off, make sure you tab the KDP....I know, I know...its not supposed to be an issue with a 24V but just do it. Also, i would use some loctite on all the other bolts under the timing cover.

Anyone use something else besides a gasket to prevent the front timing cover from leaking/seeping oil as they are known for?

You can use RTV (get the grey stuff from Dodge/Cummins) or you could also try "The Right Stuff" from Permatex.

I used both a cover gasket (12 valve) and a bit off RTV.
