Default 4.9l rear main seal replacement. how bad is it?
I'm looking at the truck that has possible rear main seal leak. it could be oil pan gasket(that's what I'm hoping for). I'm guessing trans has to come out right? or can I get to it with just droping the oil pan(half moon type seal?)

oh yeah truck is 93 4.9l 5spd.

The tranny will have to come out to replace the rear main seal.

i hope that doesnt happen to my truck for some time. I have heard its a big problem replacing it. It is costly if you have someone do it.
