I have been reading a lot lately about rear main seals, and "special tools" and updates, and all that. WHich leaves me asking- WHat is the latest style seal, what is the special install tool, and what is so special about it all? Also, is the "new" style a double lipped teflon seal- scaled UP version of the front, or is it the 2 piece seal like you see commonly on rear axles of big rigs- with rubber on the inside and outside of the seal?
I had one from Cummins a couple years ago I didnt install, and took back (cam plug was leaking), and looked at one recently from the same shop, and it was the double lipped teflon seal all the parts stores had (and the parts stores were cheaper, thanks to my sortof employee discount).
So, what gives? ANyone got pictures of a recent Cummins seal you have installed?
