Rear main leakage
My rear main on Goldie startin to drip. I tight'n the pan, but it was tight. What's involved in replacing the rear main:humm:?? Pain in the arse or what, I guess it's about due, I guess...:nope:
|
its kind of a pain but its not the worst thing youve ever done. i just did mine yesterday. you gotta pull the transmission, and flexplate (or flywheel). and its behind there. the rear main kit from cummins is about 80 bucks or so. i just used the 60 dollar one from napa because i dont have a cummins store around me.
|
if you know how to pull the transmission then it aint bad at all. i wish i had the money to do the clutch while i was there tho. check the oil pan gasket while your theere too.
|
Not too bad:pca1: not too bad and a trani service too, I need it.

and you may discover that the little trapezoid shaped bracket (#11) may be cracked and that could be your leak as well..... it can be done in an after noon if you know how i did mine in 3 1/2 hours and that's with beer brakes.....:tu: https://quickserve.cummins.com/rtgra.../9/fh900gi.png ---AutoMerged DoublePost---

i would believe on a 4 wheel drive you could do the oil pan without having to lift the motor couldnt you? just get the bolts under the mount and slide it out?
