the gtp38r needs a 18mm socket. amd the turbine has nothing to get a wrench on..i couldnt even keep it in a vise because the nub is tapered.

If you spin a regular 38 the wheel stops like immediately. the 38r was like spinning a roller skate wheel.

All 7.3L Powerstrokes have 3" outlets.

The SD and 94-97 use a different flange at the outlet, but the ID is the same. The van probably uses the smaller flange like the older pickups but I'm not sure....not many 7.3L vans in my area.
