Rear engine seal @ 20K .

[Renzo Bartolotta]

Thank you for the add, I'll try and be quick. I bought a 2017 ram 2500 Cummins long box crew cab 4x4 from a dealer with 4800 miles on it, used with a warranty. I just took it in at 20,000 miles with a leaking rear engine seal that they are replacing under warranty. Has anyone had this same problem? Is this a common issue with this vehicle? I bought it to tow and havent towed anything with it yet due to a knee surgery. It's been driven mildly in the 15,000 miles I've owned it. Thanks in advance.

That's not a known issue with the 6.7 Cummins or 6.4 bge
It must be a fluke with your truck

It's kind of amazing they are fixing it, it must be leaking a lot? Usually they say the leak is in tolerance because it costs so much to replace. Very rare, did you run a carfax?

Could also be the rear cam seal. On quick look, that will look like a crank seal leak.

No carfax, I bought it used at the very Ram dealer that sold it new . It had 4800 miles on it when I bought it. Thanks for your input.

The dealer called and confirmed it was the rear seal the day after I dropped it off. thanks for your input.

Did they tell you what caused it? Was it under warranty?

They claimed the crank was scratched then it was out of round.
They covered it and a motor at 26000. The dealer had screwed the job. It got a front seal at 5000 and I was kinda waiting for the rear to go due to a bad factory install. Then the dealer screwed it up and damaged the crank. I wish you good luck and no problems.
