How to replace rear Crankshaft Seal in 3.6L V6 engine on Ram 1500?

Remove the oil pans. Remove the driveplate. Unbolt the seal retainer from the engine block and slide the retainer and seal off the end of the crankshaft. Note: The rear Crankshaft Seal has been incorporated into the seal retainer and must be replaced as a unit. Clean the engine block, oil pan and crankshaft. The new seal and retainer assembly comes with a plastic installation sleeve; make sure it's in place. Apply a 1/4-inch bead of RTV sealant where the lower corners of the seal retainer meet the oil pan. Place the assembly over the crankshaft and push it squarely into place, making sure the dowels in the seal retainer engage the locating holes in the engine block. Install, but don't fully tighten, the seal retainer bolts. Remove the plastic installation sleeve, then tighten the bolts, using an alternating pattern, to the torque. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal.

Ram 1500 Crankshaft Seal

Crankshaft Seal is another component used in Ram 1500 vehicles which is situated at the front of the engine that serves the purpose of keeping the oil inside the crankcase.
