New Design Front Seal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 RAM 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:

The seal lip and the sealing surface on the crankshaft must be free of all oil residue, to prevent leaks. The crankshaft and seal surface must be completely dry when the seal is installed.

  1. A new oil seal must be used any time the front cover is removed and reinstalled (Refer to 09 - Engine/Engine Block/SEAL, Crankshaft Oil, Front/Removal and Installation). New front cover assemblies come with a new oil seal pre-installed.
  2. Clean the cover and the gear housing gasket mating surfaces and use caution not to damage the surface. Ensure these surfaces are clean of prior sealant material and do not sand these mating surfaces as this will cause potential leaks. Ensure the front crankshaft seal lip and the crankshaft mating surfaces are free from all oil residue to prevent seal leaks.
  3. Inspect the gear housing and front cover for damage or cracks and replace if necessary. Inspect the crankshaft mating surface for any grooves or nicks that would affect the integrity of the new seal. Ensure the surface is free of debris before installing the crankshaft seal.
  4. If equipped, remove and discard the plastic seal pilot (2) from the front cover (3).
