The only thing you should be putting in your crank case is fresh oil

Essentially when the stuff works, it works. When it doesn’t, it does not. Kinda like Las Vegas in a bottle.

I have a 2002 Nissan Altima with the V6, it is a known issue for the rear main to leak after about 160k miles.
Mine now has 250k miles and the rear seal is leaking.
I tried some of that blue devil stuff and it worked great until I changed the oil.
It is now back to leaking again.

Didn't Project Farm do a test video on engine stop leak products?

Rear main seal in a bottle would be great, but if it sounds to good to be true it usually is! Shops around me want $2500 to do one so once the weather warms up in Jersey looks like I'll be under the truck for a few days....
I tried that stuff and it got better for a week or two then started leaking 3 times as bad. DO NOT USE!!!

So, is that the going price to do a rear main seal on a 4x4 Tahoe?

Yup! Asking a Caddy dealer to do a 100k major service on your AWD truck is about $1500. The trans is removed in the process.
It’s the same for the RMS / rear main seal procedure but they skip the 100k mile service. A cocky Serv Mgr may offer to fix the RMS for an extra $250 while they’re in there.

I just realized you also started this other thread: https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/rebuilt-5-3l-engines.152238/
Sounds like you need a band-aid fix? Are you going to get your engine rebuilt soon? Is there something wrong with it? You probably don't want pay for a RMS on an engine if it's on it's last leg? Or what's going on? If the engine is coming out for a rebuild, then you obviously will get a new RMS.
