is 99

exactly the same as 02-03?? I'm looking at a wrecked 1999 rollover 7.3 6spd 4x4 118k miles. guy wants $2000 for it. Is it worth it? are all parts exactly the same on the trucks from 99-03?

thanks

Yes and no, do you know what the build date is on the truck? even if it is a pre, 2000 is well worth it.

Definitely if it's an early 99, and even if it's a late 99, there are some differences in the brakes, suspension, etc.

I worded that poorly. There are a lot more differences in the early, but even the late is different in the areas I mentioned. The front diff is also smaller on the 99, if 4x4.

Engine alone is worth that if it wasnt damaged in the wreck. Also, the 6-speed is valuable, not sure what its worth, a lot of guys want that tranny. The engine is the same on the early 99's, just a few bolt on things are different (turbo and engine boot size), no AIH heater (thats not really a bad thing, a lot of guys eliminate it anyway), slightly smaller brakes, rear is a 10.25 sterling, not a 10.5 (not sure when that changed), you have a real ashtray not a trash bag holder in the dash, but you have the crappy cup holders and your coffee will tip over. I'm sure there are a lot of things others will bring up.
