I put this here because I don't think it matters if it's 12v or 24v.

The front seal on the crank was replaced after 1 year of having a "new" seal put on by the PO - turns out the shop just pounded the new seal OVER the old seal..

So, everything was done right this time, but it's still leaking after just a little while (a few thousand miles), and trust me.. it's a big mess under there.

Is there some kind of speedi-sleeve / oversize seal that anyone is aware of? This leak has ruined my concrete driveway already, and everyone can tell where I've been parking at work..

 

Most autoparts have a speedy-sleeve for the front or can get one.
All they need is your truck info. The sleeve usually comes with an oversized seal.

 

Dodge/Cummins offers one through your local dealer. Part number is 5011935AA. Kinda spendy but it will solve the problem at $143.00.

For future reference... CarQuest has 'em.. "Timing cover repair sleeve".. Right around $80 when you buy the seal too.
