Then, y'all got jipped! The aluminum tubes were prone to wear by wire looms rubbing on them. I hadn't heard of them still using the full aluminum tubes on the later models, unless it was an EX thing. New one on me!

My buddies 02 is a truck. I think there is only like 1 or 2 spots where the wire loom rubs on the pipes, you would think ford would just fix the rubbing problem instead of changing the pipe material.
