    Help: Diesel in crankcase/oil!

    Help: Front main seal leaking

    Your input is sincerely appreciated! I believe the truck shaking at idle started just before he replaced the seal, but its difficult for me to remember because it all happened so fast. I was thinking maybe the bearing needs replaced. I think you can measure the wear by dropping the pan...

    Help: Front main seal leaking

    Stroke250 Thanks so much for the quick reply... Do you know what the tool does that is 'special'? Does it compress a lip for insertion? I've read in a few places that you need a special tool, but I would like to be able to tell him why he needs this if I have him replace it again...

    How many of you guys run Amsoil?

    I run Amsoil in my '03 Duramax engine and tranny and ALSO in my motocross race bikes. I've been racing motocross for 16 years and working on engines longer and haven't seen a chemical perform better. It makes the engines run smoother and we have actually seen slight horsepower gains using...
