There should not be any parts different. The '00 might have a better computer program. Only differences I know of is the down pipe on the '00 might not have been crushed from the factory, and the way the 4x4 engages ( floor shift-'99 vs. electric shift switch on the dash for the '00 ) Good luck.
Yours was probably built after March 99. It should be just like the 2000 year. Ford changed some things after March of 99. If you order a lift kit it will be the " late 99 " through 04 kit. If it was the "early 99" model , it would be a differrent lift kit.
Out of Curousity I checked the Tag on the left side of Door and in the Upper left corner it says ...Date.....11\98.......does that mean that my truck was built in Nov-98??? After reading the previous posts I'm wondering if this makes any difference in equipment changes ford made starting in Mar-99. Does this make the truck more or less desirable for resale in terms of value???? I didn't actually purchase the truck until dec-99. thanks to all who reply...,s.kuteman
11/98 is considered an early 99. I have an early 99 and love it. Some of the differences between the early 99's and late 99's are the late 99's had a larger "Y" manifold and turbo. Like me, most prefer the whine of the early 99 Late 99's were built after 12/8/98.
Do you mean that all 4X4 Superduties made after 1999 have vacuum-operated hubs instead of true manual hubs, whether the t-case is manual or switch operated? I would prefer manual hubs and a lever. I hope that the lever will still be available for a long time.

I have factory manual hubs on my 99 with manual t-case.
