    7.3 powerstroke swap

    Can you reread what you wrote and edit it please. Does not make sense to me. Pinion? Wheel wobbles with spring brake applied?

    Detroit Diesel cooling system flush.

    Lmtv Fire Dept conversion in Texas

    That paint job is amazing! I am working on a high water LMTV as well for my fire dept. During hurricane Harvey we had a really hard time getting evacuees up and down the OEM ladder. I designed this folding stairway and had it manufactured. It bolts on.

    Wrong replacement engine fan...

    You must have the OEM 1997 year fan. MM sent you the upgrade fan 4735-41393-27. They should have told you that the upgrade clutch is needed in order to use that fan.

    Curious about best apparatus to put in 3.07 middle gears

    Use a floor jack or transmission jack. Ring and pinion needs to be set up by someone who knows what they are doing to include verification of gear contact area.
