[RedRCLB7.3]

Hello, I have a 2002 ford f250 7.3 and I recently swapped the motor. I had to jack the cab up about 7 inches to clear the pan… long story short I drop the cab back down and had trouble getting it to align the holes back up, after aligning bolt holes (atleast I thought) and started noticing small things wouldn’t fit my pass side boost tube is a bare to fit and it’s holding on by inches, my coolant bottle is centimeters from the fan. Shroud is off. I went to close my hood and I have severe passenger side hood overlap and major gap on driver side. I’ve tried pulling the cab with my Atv and it didn’t budge. Any ideas? Maybe racket strap to a tree?

Sounds like you are missing some shims and or spacers.

You might need to talk to a body shop

Remove front bolts, loosen the rest. Look at how it lines up with the bed making sure its even side to side, and has a even gap between the bed n cab on both sides. In the front, take a lady slipper and run it up from under through one of the bolt hose. Use that to move the cab side to side, check how things look under the hood, fan being the big one. Center it in the shroud, and you should be good side to side in the front.

Isn’t the hood connected to cab? Why would my hood be off. I’ve used a porta power to try and move the cab away from frame on driver side and pass with no luck.

I didnt see the part abut the hood not fitting till just now, that's interesting. Sounds like you got the front end swung over.
