the change to the 99

[steveof250]

i want to buy a 99 and my friend told me 99 have alot of problems what do 99 have problems

[PSDfan99]

I have had two 99's an they both have been great!.... the problem years are the 2003 6.0L diesels. I havent really heard any complaints about the 1999 7.3L's. I know i have had great luck

Well, the early 99's I believe had a smaller turbo...it was definitely something to do w/ the turbo and possibly something to do w/ the connecting Rods. There is a general agreement that for modding purposes the late 99's and later are the best. I think the cutoff date may have been October. Look around on here, I know there are threads about it.

I have a 99 F250 and it has 112,000 miles on it and have had no problems so far. Its a great truck!

[cblackb]

Yes I agree...the stuff I said before was for modding purposes..I've heard nothing about any "problems"..you'll be fine.

My lil bro has a 99 and he has ran the crap outta that thing and has had very minimal problems (mainly due to his driving), heck the fuel filter hadn't been changed in 100k miles. He's well over 200k now.

"99's are fine. The early ones had a different turbo, but if you're gonna mod the crap out of it you need a bigger turbo anyway. The later ones are just easier to upgrade. I prefer early '99's to the later because of the better tubbo sound. If you plan on doing little mods, like intake, exhaust, and chip, you will love it.

hell if i could have a 99 in my truck id take the motor to get the forged rods especially when i get my injectors and hpop in

[PSDfan99]

I have an "early 99" now and the turbo screams compaired to my old truck, which was a "late" 99. I love my truck, absolutely NO complaints here!
