Simon all I did was connect the turbine speed sensor back up and replace the blown TCM fuse and made the trans work again. I decided to let Matt drive the truck first and get an idea what might need to be changed in the future.
At this point I don't have the heart to suggest anymore costly work with what has happened. If the rear main seal is leaking I will pull the trans and Robert has offered to come down and install the seal. All we can do is wait for a diagnosis.
PS
Until today, I wasn't aware that the rear main seal could be done in the truck.

Why? :confused: With all the transmissions you have done you have never replaced a RMS in a duramax? Not knocking you, just curious :)

Oh. Well I guess the leak wasnt a biggie - between the lower and intermediate oil pan. But when that was fixed, they found something else....

It appears to be from when the hole was drilled and tapped for the oil drain into the oil pan...:(:mad: Needless to say I am getting MORE upset now....

Those would be shavings from when the twins turbo drain was drilled - with the pan still on the truck. The pan wasnt removed, therefore all the shavings from that hole went straight into the oil supply.
