Message: [QUOTE="TexasJ, post: 1553394, member: 30660"] Ok guys, I'm back with not so great news. Apparently the motorcraft seal is on national backorder. The tasca website doesn't show as being "out of stock" so that's who I ordered from, but I just got an email from them this morning saying my order has been cancelled because they don't have it and it is in fact on backorder. No one seems to have any clue when they will be getting more in, and I have several messages out to different suppliers trying to figure out if they will be getting more at all, or if motorcraft has discontinued the part. But at this point it sounds like even if they will be getting more, I won't be able to get it in time to have it installed while the motor is out of my truck. So I'm looking at other options; Mahle, Felpro, and the others I listed above that Rock Auto has in stock. Are any of those comprable to the Motorcraft in quality, and would it be worth replacing the current rear main with one of them, even if it's not leaking yet? The only reason I'm considering replacing it is because the shop is pulling the engine on warranty to replace the faulty timing cover gasket they installed awhile back, so I won't be paying for labor to have the engine pulled. But if I can't get the motorcraft seal in the next 2 weeks they will be putting the engine back in the truck and then I'm SOL. Money has been VERY tight lately, and I can't afford to pay for the full job if it starts leaking 6 months down the road. So I need to know if it's worth going with another brand of seal, and if so which one? Or should I just stick with the old seal that's in it currently and take my chances. Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
