Leaky rear main
After reading about leaky rear mains for a year and 31,000 miles I took my truck in for the slightly obnoxious bell housing stain. I also brought up the Radiator overflow while towing and sluggish shifting in tow haul.
So far they have replaced the rear main seal, after the tranny is re-installed the truck will go to the tranny shop for diags?
Wish me luck

Good luck!!!
Has your trans tow/haul always had a problem? Or, did it just develop? You'd think they would'a run a diag. on the trans 'first' just in case the trans had to be repaired!! Or out she comes again.. Guess they feel confident that it's programming/minor repair... Sure is nice, to not have to 'peek' anymore at the bell housing to see it it gotten worse..
Hope it all goes well....

update
Here is the update. Rear main R&Red 
Slight amount of residue from coolant normal, won't continue longterm (possibly too full from factory)
Trans Ok
30,000 mile trans service performed at my request. Manual says to replace external filter and fluid. Service department Performed a Trans flush service with MOC (?) replaced 18 qt of fluid, BUT NO FILTER???
The service dept states this covers the 30,000 mile service and comes with a warranty that will cover up to $2500 in service should I have a problem. Has anyone heard of this?
I also had the system reflashed.
Initial take is reprogrammed the lie-o-meter and the pedal (seems to take less foot for more response)
