Dropped my rig off Tuesday morning, was told I'd see it again Thursday evening. To my surprize I got it back today at 15:00.

The job paper states: Oil drip from the back of the engine to bellhousing. Verify customer concern, remove trans, replace rear main seal and reseal bed plate. Reassemble and retest ok.

Also: Belt or pully squeek on cold start up. Replace serpintine belt with update to correct.

I have 35,477 miles on this truck. I had the new turbo pedestal installed after the turbo was replaced (at 250 or so miles) to correct the "moan" at 1700 rpms.

The new pedestal moved the "moan" down the rpm scale and you can feel a vibration in the floor. There's a revised procedure to loosen up the exhaust system, check and/or reline the pipes and retorque it all. The Tech that's going to do the job (the Tech that's done all work that has been done to my truck) said he's done four of these and one solved the "moan" and the other three didn't help. He's going to redue my truck Tuesday. We'll see if it's any better.

To me these are minor problems execpt for the rear main seal. They don't put the amount of time spent on the job doing these repairs so we/you can figure what it would cost us out of pocket to replace a $35 seal.

I was told that replacing this seal is part of the 100,000 mile power train warranty so if it goes out again it's covered. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]
