my off the wall some-what educated guess would be to say yeah....but if i told you i was 100% sure, youd probably go out, try to swap it out, then it wont work (just because my luck is that way) and youd feel like buying a bus ticket to my town and kickin me in the ***..... the only thing i would see stopping it from being the same one is the supercharger......but who knows? maybe if you went online and searched for part numbers, youll come up with somethin....just a off the wall some-what educated guess....

I know that had to replace a fuel pump once on one. I still to this day remeber how much a customer had to pay for it as he didn't buy and extended warranty $550

And who in the world would pay $550 for just the pumps, when they could upgrade to the Walbro 255lph pumps, while paying just a tad over $200 bucks for better pumps?
Was this at a dealership? If so, that's a pretty penny to cough up when better replacement pumps can be had for a lot cheaper.

BTW, the Gen 2 Lightning model years were '99 to '04.
No Lightning was made in '98.

Ford started producing the 5.4L engines for the Lightnings on January 14, 1999. The build/production date for the 30th Lightning produced was two months later, being March 16, 1999.
I don't know the build/production date for the first Lightning produced in 1999, but judging by the date of number 30, I feel safe in guessing it's probably early March or late February of 1999.
I'm not trying to a jerk. That's why in my earlier post, when I corrected the info you posted, I closed with a thumbs up smiley.
I make mistakes too bro. We're all human. I just wanted to make sure if a noob came across your post, he would have the correct info regarding the years the L was available.
As my teenage son say's, "it's all good!"
