Wrong Rear Main Seal!!

[lovetoski]

OK, I'm a little pissed. Today was to be my day to install my rebuilt tranny/transfer. Flywheel machine done, clutch kit in hand, tranny jack rented, all ready to go....

Except...the rear main seal which I picked up at the local dealer is too small. Diameter is ~ 1/4" too small.

Part number of the rear main I have in hand is: 90311-95002

From a post on mud, it appears the correct RMS is: 90311-99001

Can anybody confirm please? It's an 87 fj60, build date Aug 86. Aren't all RMS on 2F's the same?

Did I say I am pissed? Got the day free just to finish up this project. Sheesh.

It's a good idea to have your vin# on a piece of paper in your wallet when you order certain parts.

I can't confirm the numbers but both part numbers you gave both come up as type T seals, the latter costs a couple more dollars.

That is too bad. I don't know the part #s either, but I know the 2F and the 3FE have a different rear main, so maybe yours is from a later truck. Yet another reason to deal with Cruiserdan.

Did a search and that part # looks like a rear main for a 12H-T. You should be so lucky.

Looks like what you got is the seal for an HJ60.

Thanks guys! Too bad that seal didn't fit...would be cool to wake up and find out my truck grew a diesel overnight!

Many of us think the same thing.
