The rear output / tailshaft seal went out on my 1998 24v 2wheel drive with the NV4500. Dodge states they can nolonger get it.(nice to know a truck less than ten years old and the dealer can no longer help you) Autozone ,Advance,Bennett,and Napa all call for the same seal, Timken 2465 this seal is about 1/2 the size of the old one the old part number is 68095-J crossed with national came in not a good match.Any one have this isue before?

Theres 3 different part numbers for this seal. There is a small one that will barely fit over the input shaft, there is another one that is around 2.5" OD and 1.9" ID, and the one I needed was 3.5" OD and 2.2" ID. $10 for the first one, $70 for the right one. Only place I could get it that day was Chrysler. They 'need' the VIN for it, and will still show two seals. All I can really suggest is phone another dealer.

Another thought, GM used the NV4500 trannies too. I don't know if they used seals the same size or not, but it may be worth looking into.

I will make a few calls today. Napa took measements of the old seal and ordered one for me. I would rather have the wright one being I put 500+ miles a day on this truck.Breaking down on the hiway is not good.
Thanks Again,Paul

I would really appreciate the part # for the correct seal from NAPA. I can't get the correct seal from any source.
