2017 6.7 trans leak
I have 2017 6.7 bought in August has had a little trans leak ever since it had around 5,000 miles in October.
The leak seamed to be getting worse with 18,000 miles.
So back to the dealership.
Schedule a appointment for them to fix the leak.
They say it is the trans pump seal / torque converter seal.
They have had the truck for 8 weekdays and a weekend still not done.
What would be a reasonable amount of time to replace these seals?
Not to happy😬

One person can accomplish a lot in one day, if they want to.

It may be a issue with getting parts. Have you had a conversation with the dealer? Have they told you the reason for the delay.? It should take a couple days to remove and rebuild and install transmission. Maybe they found more wrong when they dropped the box.
You need to talk to the dealer.

Thanks for the replies.
I have been on them.
They took the truck on Monday morning got a loaner car.
They didn’t start working on it till this week.
Just got a text all back together test running checking repair.
So if the repair is good it was 10 weekdays and a weekend.
From what I know a seal was the only part replaced.
Way to long just hope it is fixed.
Just really bad planning by the dealer.

I agree they don’t money until the repair is done.
But I also think if your to take someone truck from them to make a repair you have the manpower and basic parts to fix it.
I worked maintenance for 40 years in management and with my hands.
You do the work with planning and parts there seemed to be none of this on this job.
Now part 2
Picked up truck on Friday afternoon all seemed well they said they were going to change the filter they didn’t.
I told them I had to have the truck this Saturday.
The dealer had the truck two weeks for a two to four day job at the most.
I had to leave early Saturday 4am morning about 120 miles each way and being gone all day.
I wasn’t towing anything either.
Well about 50 miles into the trip the trans temp hits 200 degrees thinking it would start to drop it just keeps climbing.
So needless to say I had to stop three times to get to my destination hitting temps up to 235degrees on trans temperature.
I also had to limp it home the same way at the end of day.
So back to dealer on Monday now I’m really pissed.
What makes me mad about this was them taking 2 weeks to make a two to four day repair this would of been caught last week prior to when I really needed my truck.

Trans fluid is full on dip stick.
