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!
