2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 Rear Main Seal Replacement Auburn, KY

When this 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 came into the shop, the owner had one clear issue: an oil leak that was getting worse by the day. After a quick inspection, it was obvious the rear main seal was the culprit. It’s a common failure point on these engines that can cause steady oil loss and a messy undercarriage if left untreated.

The only way to properly address a rear main seal leak is to remove the transmission. And once you’re already in that deep, it only makes sense to take a look at what else could be done to prevent future problems while everything is accessible.

Here’s what we did:

✅ Removed the transmission to access and replace the rear main seal

✅ Installed a brand-new rear main seal to eliminate the oil leak

✅ Replaced the torque converter while the transmission was out, after educating the customer on common failure points in the 6L80

✅ Tuned the transmission to firm up shift points, reduce slippage, and increase longevity

The customer made a smart call. Instead of just patching the leak and hoping for the best, they went ahead and handled a few potential future issues at once. Now their truck is leak-free, shifting better, and more reliable for the long haul in Auburn, KY.
