2007 GMC Denali Rear Main Seal

[@clmkc5393]

You are "The Doctor" of automotive! That was a huge job - way beyond my ability. Great job .

[@mostlybroadbandbandit]

Dropping a like. Showed me everything i was curious about. Going to tackle this job in a couple weeks

[@HOLLYWOOOD2369]

Drop that music it’s annoying an over power you talking that it’s a great video

[@user-gs1ps2vb1u]

Nah music dope

[@332ARA]

God that music is annoying!

[@JabariXL]

what a great video, quality, information, music, good job dude.

[@MrStangdawg]

This job is the time to also change the transmission filter and fluid, oil pan gasket, and the o ring on the oil pick up tube. You pick off a lot of maintenance when doing the rear main seal with very little extra labor

[@ethandax8900]

i know it is kinda off topic but do anyone know a good website to watch new series online ?

@Ethan Dax flixportal xD

[@ethandax8900]

@Eli Sage thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it !!

[@buddybrown4903]

Good video and advice. That last top bolt held me up cause I didn't pull that front cross member. I figured i had to..

[@OmarsGarage]

How much do you charge in your shop to do this? I’ve never had to do this so just curious to know.

[@thegg5097]

At least $4000

[@zengim102]

You pay 4000 you are an idiot

[@thegg5097]

@@zengim102 price is always subject to where you live in the world my friend. If you think the cost is the same in downtown LA or some farm ranch in Ohio then you would be the idiot. But who am I to judge

[@zengim102]

GG I Didn’t mean you personally but if it hurt your feelings... anyway, a man should keep two things in his back pocket... a good divorce lawyer and a good mechanic within a two hour radius that won’t eat your lunch.

[@regionvoices6607]

How many miles are on this vehicle? That determines more than anything if it's worth the repair I've got a GMC ENVOY that has a rear main seal leak It has 135,000 miles on it Any used car with 100,000 /130 000 on it are going for between 15k & 25k depending on the type of SUV So to me $4,000 is better than $300 to $400 a month for the next 60 to 72 months Tnis young man isn't afraid of hard work either That's impressive

[@stevenlynch9947]

Nice to see a Real Pro!

[@OldBeatenStrat]

How many times do you have to change this seal in the Denali’s life? I hope only once

[@juansalinas258]

What's if the torque for the screws on 13:20?

[@user-ot6om9by1c]

The video is excellent and very informative. Down side is the music is overpowering the narration and very annoying. Please keep up the great work without the music. Thank you

[@AlanLJones]

What is the cost of a rear main job? Thank you

[@oscardelpilar3753]

How much does this job run?

Would have been a great video except for the music was covering up him talkin kill the music be much better

William Davis didn’t your mother teach you not to mess with Pollys?

[@stephenmiller9520]

I Have done three transmissions not all mine it’s big job to get to that rear main seal every time I gotta do this I watch videos after work to get freshened up make sure I got everything I put red loctight on all the transmission and transfer case bolts cuz they are hard to get to and sometimes wobbles make it harder to get tight I’ve never took off that front cross member used two wobbles and extensions from the back of the transmission the rear main seal bolts get a blue loctight on them too huge job tho costs a lot to have a Mecanic do it and I’d charge a lot too don’t blame them if u can’t afford it u gotta do it yourself

[@steadyeddie7453]

TIGHTENING SEQUENCE- When you slip the plate back on with the new seal installed the seal will center itself on the crank boss. Very important that it stays centered. I would tighten and torque all the outer bolts to keep the seal centered. Then install and torque the 2 lower bolts. If the outer bolts aren't completely tightened first the 2 lower pan bolts will pull the plate down ever so slightly and the seal will be off center with the crank. It may not fail right away, but it will at some point. I do appreciate that you didn't use the expensive centering tool. Its not necessary if you tighten the bolts in the proper sequence. Also my gripe is that GM could have installed a locating pin on each side of the block with matching holes in the plate to line things up. Just like they did with the older V8 timing covers. Thanks for the vid.

[@TheCBD35]

Wrong! Read the manual bud

[@steadyeddie7453]

@@TheCBD35 You actually did it as I described. Tighten the cover bolts, then tighten the 2 pan bolts. Then you came back and tightened a couple upper bolts later, but the cover was already locked down in place by that point, so you were good to go at that point.

[@thespeedjunkieo2904]

How much a job like that? I need my truck done also

[@rafkong]

Good video… keep doing exactly this… minus the chill music

[@swthero]

What the cost and how many days does this take to get this done at a auto shop?

[@ScarabChris]

I have this repair in my future. I have a 2008 Escalade with the same power and drive train. I'm hoping the Blue Devil rear main sealer slows the leak down to buy me some time. What does this job cost?

[@preachercharleshadeniii3764]

How much does the transmission weigh? I'm trying to make sure my jack can safely carry the weight.

[@jamesBassMan81]

How much it cost to have the real main oil seal replaced?

[@santanasalinas4740]

I did all that and truck still leaking any ideas why or what I did wrong I put the rear main seal and the oil pan gasket

[@kevg644]

I really love the music who ever it is and great video 👍🏾what song is that?

[@OCV-sq6hs]

How did you drop the engine down to get the last bolt out of the transmission? When you took out the engine support?

[@blueberrycornbread]

This is an awesome video! I love the music ! I like too how you sped it up at parts. Rock on Brother !

[@tremayne3]

Are you in Sacramento?

[@Motodents]

Awesome video ! Clear , informative, and correctly done . Keep em coming! Subbed ⛓

[@victorchavez8311]

Bro I noticed a line of oil on the bottom as you were getting the 2 bottoms bolts threaded on! Is that normal ? The same thing happened to me today and it freaked me out I’m over here thinking if maybe I should re do it all over before I put everything back together.!.?!?!?

[@Husain_Alhashmi]

please reupload it without music

[@MrVR401]

Whats the cost on this

[@stevensanton2567]

Hello where are you located?

[@aronhw]

How long did this take you?

[@stephenmiller9520]

Carefull with them long bolts going into the bottom of the rear main seal cover the can break easy I’d suggest torquing them

[@rickwaldo4150]

Can I have you do my 01 Sierra ?

[@lcoast1819]

Hey I love your videos!!! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!!!! Around the 10:00 minute mark, after removing the "engine support" you mention "that will give you room to lower the engine enough to get the last bolt out" that is up top. What actions do you take/how do you mean specifically "lower the engine"? to get to that last bolt. I'm getting ready to change my rear main seal and oil pan gasket in a 2007 Yukon Xl 1500 4wd version. I changed all the lifters/rods, and head gasket,valve cover gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets and engine mounts 50k miles ago. Was running great until recently. Just getting my courage up. I appreciate any advice you can share. Thanks!!!!

[@davidmadl4596]

Support it with your transmission stand while removing the cross member and then let the stand down once removed.

[@ruslankontsimal7072]

@@davidmadl4596 so the mounts don’t have to be touched I’m guessing- just support the bottom of the transmission pan, remove the four big bolts/nuts for that engine crossmember, then lower the transmission jack, and the engine will lower as well and the engine mounts shouldn’t interfere, is that correct? I was hoping to not have to remove the transfer case and just slide the trans back like 6-8in, but I’m guessing because of the topmost bolt, I might just have to remove the transfer case huh?

[@lienrep6935]

Thanks for the video, gave me an idea of what needs to be done to my 2007 Yukon Denali. Let me ask you, does the engine cover on top have to be removed before you did this job?

[@cletus7419]

What’s the torque specs for the bolts for that cover plate?

[@ajautomotiverepairandfleet8614]

The torque is 22 lb. ft. If your torque wrench does not go that low then I would recommend getting an inch pounds torque wrench or something that measures in N.m. The N.m spec is 30. If you don't have access to either then I kinda use my wrist as a torque to yield wrench to get them all close. Haven't had any problems doing it this way as well. Good luck with your project and let me know If you have any other questions or request. Peace

So why should u go an buy another plate

Great video brotha 💪🏼 💯 Did you have to drain the oil?

Hey does the rear main leak stopper good to use for small leaks? Like Bars leak or Blue Devil?

[@gabrielzepeda3610]

Nah doesnt really do much 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@acetruckzngunz6501]

Would this be a solution to a major oil leak ? I’m leaking quite a bit on my Denali

[@fierceeagle2003]

Rear main seal, valve cover gaskets or oil pan gasket. Are ideally were the major leaks happen on these.

[@javiergonzales8487]

Great Detailed Explanation, systematic correct sequence flow, and by the way Great Music, who is it ?

[@t.shauny5119]

Made that look easy, good job 👍🏼

[@ontobetterdayz]

No torque on the cover bolts and no thread locker on the flywheel bolts. 🤦‍♂️🙄

[@gabrieltorrez464]

He also didn’t do the gasket bolts right, you’re supposed to start at like 15 ft pound and work up to 72 ft pound in 3 sets so that it’s evenly tightened and on there properly

[@allsopwy1]

@ A & j Automotive repair and fleet services. I just paid my mechanic to do this job on the exact same year, make and model. I’m still getting a leak that is now worse than before. One drip every 40 seconds on a cold parked engine. He said that unfortunately the crank must be grooved where the seal sits and so the new seal isn’t working. Not sure I believe that to be the case. I’m not too happy to pay someone to make the problem worse. I’m hoping you can give me some suggestions on next steps to resolve the issue. Have you ever seen where a new seal doesn’t seal because the crank is too worn? The truck had 181,000 miles on it and is still running strong. Just an obnoxious leak that is making a mess. Please help.

[@jamesabsher8477]

I’ve never seen that, sounds like they messed up and don’t want to repair it for free.

[@ericmachinperez842]

they did not use the guide to sit the plate properly

[@memphistiger4647]

Or he didn't replace the seal at all.. I was scammed by a shade tree mechanic that way. It was a lesson learned for me.

[@eddiesgsr]

I bet when he put the new seal in he had the 2 long oil pan bolts snug first before tightening the cover bolts

[@gabrielzepeda3610]

Oil cooler lines (if you have) drip crazy, on top of the filter

[@comaradelee]

Don't u need an special alighment tool for that so center the seals

[@lordsaladin8903]

If this job takes you 2 days with all the right tools, lift, etc. You've been a bad mechanic for 25 years. It should never take that long to pull a trans, replace a rear main, replace trans. I'd have been fired from every shop I ever worked at if this took me that long.
