99 question?

[gregnettles]

ok I am looking at trading a guy my truck for his and his is a 99 PSD.. now my question is the door jamb says date 01/99 now is this good or bad... I have a 2002 PSD now and i just dont want to be "downgrading" per say.. his is 4wd and mine is 2wd thats the reason for swap.. both ahve about the same miles... what do you guys think????

01/99 is the late 99 motor. But it has the e99 suspension. Couple of differences. The big one is they have square u-bolts up front instead of the rounds ones. The late 99 motor has the same injectors as stuff as your 02 except it has forged rods.

the 99 has forged? or the 02? I just want to make sure the 6 position TS chip and all will work..

and another question... I came home today to a leak under my 02. It is clear and seems to be coming out of the transmission dust plate or whatever you want to call it some folks say inspection cover, there is a small hole on the bottom i guess for stuff to drain out of.. It has no smell so I am confused.. any ideas?

The 99 has forged. 02 has PMRs. The chip will have to get reburned for a different PCM code

Which are the better rods to have?

[shane772]

I'd say the forged ones

[gregnettles]

That's what I would say too lol. In the gas world forged is better but I am new to diesel.

I need help on this leak though!!!

Forged is better. PMRs are only used up to 400-425hp. But there has been a few who drive a dd pmr truck over that.
