I've replaced the rear main seal and it is still leaking. I've done this 4 times with the same results. It's a 2 piece seal. It does not fit tight in the cap the seal has a gap in it. Is there something else I can do? The truck listed above is a 1500 with a 5.9 ltr v8 mag. Which I didn't have to drop to access the rear main.

Good morning,

I attached the procedure for you. Did you use the sealant in the procedure for the ends of the seal?

What did you torque the bearing cap to when you were done?
