97-98 shop manual differences?

[91CheapExp]

I was so excited to snag a 97 Explorer/Mountaineer Workshop Manual on ebay. This is the BIG 2-volume set that's a couple hundred bucks. Too bad I forgot that our car is a 98. Are there significant differences between the 97 and 98? Opinions on usefulness of a 97 manual for a 98 car? I'll probably end up reselling the 97 manual on ebay and watching for a 98.
thanks for your feedback.

That manual should work perfectly for about 95% of what you would need it for. I wouldn't waste the time in selling it and looking for another.
