The 2001 injectors are split shot injectors and the 1997 are single shot (except for the California trucks). I'm not sure if you need to make any changes to run them, but they are compatable with the 1997 truck from everything I've heard.

Yes, you can shim the fuel pressure regulator or you can buy the California Regulator Kit from Ford. Both do the same thing, but the do-it-yourself version can be done for less than $1. CLICK HERE and scroll down, there are some directions on how to shim the FPR. You might also want to add this guys webpage to your favorites. TONS of information there.
