Only 2 defining forces have ever offered to die for you.....Jesus Christ and the American Soldier..
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

So you know you have to pull the motor to do that right? Which also requires removing the cab... Good luck bud!

Yes - you have to pull the engine - NO - you don't have to remove the cab (its a 7.3, not 6.0)

also... why replace the RMS? They are usually, say 99%, never bad... likely a leak on the top of the engine at the turbo or hpop o-rings, or possibly even the dip stick tube... fills up the valley and then runs down the back of the engine, appearing to be a rear main seal leak.

Hope this helps - sounds like a heckuva project!
