you could pull the intake spider and measure your plenums, early 99 had 2 inch late had 3

its the big piece of alluminum that is connected to the turbo, both intercooler pipes and engine. There is also a thread on this I believe in the 99-03 section

Yeah I've seen the thread but I'm lost cause of the suspension

I have read on here before about some people posting about having a mix of both early and late 99 characteristics, I don't know man, I just know you can check the plenums and pull the pcm to check the code

Pcm code is nvk3

Could be wrong so don't quote me, but from what I have found nvk is a late model, the xle are the early ones

thats what im saying im leading toward it being a late model due to the build dtae but with early suspension in 4/99 i have square bolts around my front leaf springs hmmm
