    Catastrophic Rear Main Seal Failure

    Update: this thread likely saved me from a second RMS failure, as the oil gallery seal was completely toast in addition to the RMS. Huge thank you to everyone here for the heads up and the part number. No clue what would cause such a catastrophic and rare issue, but I'm glad it's resolved...

    100%. Going to have him check crankcase pressure and ensure PCV valve is all good.

    Also, while this is pretty much already blowing my budget, is there anything additional I should consider tacking onto this job while he's in there?

    Catastrophic Rear Main Seal Failure

    Posted this on my main vehicle thread, but figure I'd make one here for visibility Have not experienced any oil leaking since owning my 100 (around 10k miles now I believe), but I started noticing a few drops of oil in the past couple of weeks - nothing crazy. Oil pressure was reading same as...

    A Year of Hunting, a Cross-Country Flight, and My First 100 Series

    RE: battery question above, I was watching videos of 105 series mods while my truck was in the shop and didn't realize the difference in size in the rear cubbies. The group 24 battery I have will certainly not fit in any of the rear cubbies! I've been playing around with different strategies to...

    Truck back from the shop. Drives like a new vehicle! New ball joints (555 upper/lower), tie rods (555 inner/outer), and shocks (OEM). Alignment looks solid, but there is still a slight bit of pull to the right, which I suspect is coming from a sticking piston on front passenger caliper. This...

    While I'm thinking about it, has anyone successfully mounted anything in the cargo cubby in the rear quarter panel? I believe the battery I ordered should fit in there, but I'm pretty sure it's all plastic, so I'm not sure how I'd securely mount it. I searched around on the forum but haven't...

    LC is still in the shop, but should have it back any day now. In the meantime, in preparation for my trip I've ordered an awning which I hope to be able to mount into the stock rack with rivnuts (I've ordered Yakima MightyMounts as an alternative, just in case). Additionally, I've put together...

    Anybody near NYC want a pair of 100 series running boards?

    Copy. No noise or anything - it really is just a vibration. Funnily enough I had the same issue with my 4runner. U joints are officially added to the list!
