Nice looking rig. Looks like a tight fit on that trailer!

Fit fine . Just had to add timbers to get over wheel wells . Little tire hang off each side . About same when I had m715. Clunk is ring and pinion slack . Anyone know ratio in 1990 m998? 2.56 or 2.73? I've found nos 2.73 diffs

I was about to suggest to look at the ring and pinion but you got there. had to change my rear, backing up in a turn sounded like the pinion was trying to crawl over the top of the ring gear. mine is and 87 and cant remember the ratio
