'95 7.4L Oil filter removal clearance issue

[rpoL98]

Could be the same might just be the angle the pic was taken.Putting the trans back in the correct location will probably fix the problem.I wonder if the adapter is 180* out? Is that possible,dunno....

^^^^ This.

i think oil filter adapter is either 180* off, or the wrong oil filter adapter was substituted.

Is this normal? Hits frame rail and diff.

Yes, the date on the filter says '13...... New to me truck.... first oil change.
I had to wedge it between the frame & yoke and roll the driveshaft to spit it out.....
Had to do the same to get the new one up in there.
No access up top, either.

Frame rail tweeked? Diff mounts worn? Normal?
