I pulled the oil pan on my ENDT 673 E I don't know what oil was used in this engine but it was very clean ( Rotella clean ) I pull a main and a rod cap both had bearings dated 8-98 they looked real good the crank looked very good . I noticed that this engine has no piston oilers .
I pulled the fly wheel and bell housing off of the Mack ENDT 673 E today I noticed that the military bell housing holds the seal for the crank on the civilian engine it has a housing that holds the seal . I have to pull the pan next and check the main and rod bearings .

I yes you should . I turned my m211 in to a tractor I pull a car trailer and can move the larger trailer when I need to . It's easy to park in town when we go to dinner . the bed was just to tall .
27 inches on the back I would leave the front drive line out for now . you don't want any damage done to your transfer case simple pushing and pulling can lead to problems
With your truck weighting !8,400 empty you may be able to register it for 26,000 or under and not need a class B . depending on your state . I had one of my trucks that weighted 14,000 registered for 16,000 and the GVW was 32,000 .
