Default 2003 and 2007 rear main seal leak

New to the site. I have a 2003 Dodge 2500 5.7 quad cab Hemi. Put a new motor in and have changed 4 rear main seals, they keep leaking. I have a 2007 1500 5.7 Hemi just changed the motor and am on my second rear main seal and it is also leaking. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Are you sure its the rear main, and not, perhaps, the oil pan? Are you lubing the new seal before you install it?

Moving this to the third gen ram section for ya. Welcome to DF!

I am using assembly lube. It sure seems to be the seal. Interesting it is the same on both trucks
