Larry is the king of rear main's. I'm getting ready to tackle that this weekend. I watched a few vids about that damn Cover I'm sure that's my issue. Leak is really getting bad now.Has your rear main seal been done yet? If not... have fun one day!
The rear main seal itself may actually be good, but the rear main cover often leaks badly. Unfortunately, you have to tear things apart just as much to replace it. Don't ask how I know!
Its really easy once you pull the blown transmission. [emoji16]
You may re-think the dealer when they quote you the prices. Good Luck.
Really. Nothing is easy about pulling a trans blown or not.
I tell them my price and see if they can get close. They are not half bad.
No but once you have it pulled it is easy to change the rear seal. [emoji1787]
Yeah...thats on my list of shit to do also...dropped my front axle to do shaft seal on the right side and did oil pan gasket too...oil pan leak stopped bit the two skinny bolts leak a bit.
I sure hope your right. Going to find out in a few weeks.
Its a 15 minute job without a transmission in the way. Its just a few bolts and some sealant.
Sure don't want to over tighten those mine leak too.
It would take me 15 mins just to make sure the engine is as clean as possible. Than 10 mins of double checking everything. Maybe 30 mins.
Maybe my memory is shot...... What were we talking about again?
No joke!!
I just got a set of six spark plugs for my sister-in-law's Impala and the knock sensor harness and oil pressure sensor for my Tahoe because I couldn't get those on RockAuto and that ran me $215.
I skipped the RTV dam. My knock sensors were pristine at 193k miles, so I figured why botherYou also want to build up a small dam of rtv around those knock sensors. They have an issue with corrosion getting down into the sensor holes, so it’s a good idea to stop that next time around. Like so:
Yeah I googled it to figure out what it was and if it's not falling apart or something crazy I'm leaving it.
I expect the corrosion is more of a northern thing I'm from Oklahoma so we don't have a lot of that here.
