    I’m doing an auto to 5 speed swap in the truck. Rear main seal on motor is the original from 2003 with 108k. Question is should I change it out while I’m in there or let a sleeping dog lie. Not leaking a drop at the moment. How susceptible is it to leaking?

    When I did my swap, I replaced mine. Figured why not.

    That’s what I’m leaning towards

    Change it. You’ve made it that far and it takes quite a bit of work to get to it.

    Everything but the driveshaft. B03A - 410
    I changed it on my 1998 model replacement engine with 70,000 miles. Now it will be good for another 21 years.
