This is a perfect example of why paying with a CC in certain instances would have gotten your money back on a contested service as you have all the evidence against the dealer on a screw up and then s

If everyone did it themselves wouldn't that put you out of a job? I'd much rather do my own work as well, but I don't have the skills that most on this site posses. But I always look forw

First, my question. I have her all torn down to the point where I just have to remove the timing cover. Fingers crossed no grooves on crank. 222K on the clock.
I bought a cummins seal at the dealer. Says cummins on the part.
Question..... which way is OUT?
Logic tells me this side should face INWARD towards the crank:
And this side OUTWARD facing away from the crank:
Reasoning, the second picture has a rotational marker. when facing you it is clockwise. when facing the front of the truck, the crank turns clockwise.
Why am I asking? bc the plastic alignment piece is conical (cone shaped). you have to pull tight from the front and it will actually expand the inside of the seal out a good bit. i assume this is so the seal will fit over the crank shaft nose.
You would literally have to pull this cone through the seal by pulling it up through the seal in this photo correct?
btw, I am doing this via the dodge service manual which says install in the cover first. i have no depth tool so i am going to have to wing it and hope.
this is what the dealer did to me...... twice. he put it in the wrong way and not only did he do that he put on gray silicone rtv on both the inside and outside of the seal. no no no no no!
right hand side of the photo also broke the lip the seal goes into. before i took this apart he told me to buy a new cover b/c he thinks it was warped. ummmm.... or u broke it.
This one you can see how this is really installed backwards:
moparman you may know this thread from another forum. i got banned b/c i was upset and cursed with stars to filter the words. no warning no nothing. just banned. still need help though. this has been going on for 4 months.
