View Full Version : Tell me differences of a 95-97 and 98-99 Silverblade 11-18-2002, 06:12 PM What is different between the 95-97 and 98-99 Ex's? Their engines are a bit diff HP rating The tail lights change what else changes? Sorry for the dumb question but the options for a truck are getting annoying. Robb 11-18-2002, 06:16 PM another...............in '98 the liscense plate moved to the hatch from the bumper. in '99, they offered the cool front bumper with the round fogs there were some changes underneath, but not sure about them Robb Alec 11-18-2002, 06:37 PM Also, the audio options changed and the main amp 98+ is built into the HU; only an external amp with the woofer. Gonzo 11-18-2002, 07:08 PM The front torsion bars on 98+ are solid (as opposed to hollow ones used on >98). The third brake light was changed from the long skinny one to a shorter one in either 97 or 98. The long skinny ones use some special flourescent type bulb and are $400+ to replace. The shorter ones use regular bulbs. In either 97 or 98 they put a hump on the floor under the rear seat. Not sure why, but it would have been a great place to mount an amp or other stuff. Silverblade 11-18-2002, 07:33 PM So besides the licence plate and the tail lights, there isnt too many exterior differences is there? They dont change body panels slightly becuase one is like 2 inches shorter or taller or anything stupid like that right? Alec 11-18-2002, 07:41 PM The rear hatch and rear quarterpanels are different. Of course the bumpers and flares also. Taillights and 3rd brakelight. I think that's about it as far as bodywork. Texan01 11-18-2002, 11:28 PM The 98-up seem to ride a bit better than my 95. 95's also have ODB-I and 96 and up have ODB-II. So my X doesn't throw a hissyfit if you decide to mess with the engine. Gonzo 11-18-2002, 11:47 PM Just to correct my post: I meant hollow anti-sway bars, not torsion bars. Silverblade 11-19-2002, 05:40 PM OBD-I??? OBD-!!??? sorry im kinda dumb Alec 11-19-2002, 06:55 PM OBD1: 95-, OBDII (2): 96+ One name for the engine control and emissions computer. 96+ has the newer system with more computer control. Christian 12-01-2002, 03:17 AM You guys forgot to mention the grille upfront. The 95-97 was silver without a screen and the 98+ had a darker color with a screen background. They also installed a wet type rear wiper. They also installed (as an option) the puddle lamps on the outside review mirrors. The rear bumper also changed it is more curvy. The badging is also different and the most important thing i think is the rear window tint is much darker. |
