91-96 vs 97-00 LIM

[Fernando Uribe]

Anyone know the difference between a 1991-1996 and a 1997-2000 lower intake manifold on a 4.0 Explorer?

dont think there are any differences in the lowers, my 94 explorer vs 2000 ranger differences though
1. uppers plastic vs aluminum same gasket for botttom of rail but the aluminum ones use 2 and the plastic upper uses molded o-rings
2. EGR(no egr on 2000)
3. spark plug wire routing
4. fuel rail, same but the 2000 isn't machined for a return line.
5. 2 sensors for coolant/antifreeze different plugs, all the sensors are the same just different plugs in 95+

just my notices
