need to know differences between 98 and 99 X

[tbomb]

hey guys, ive been doing some research on which shop manual i should get (i.e.: haynes, chiltons, ford) and ive decided to get the ford one. this manual runs for like ~$160, but i found someone who has it on cdrom and is willing to sell it really cheap, only one problem...the cd is for a 99 explorer, and i have a 98. i need to know all the differences so i can decide if its worth it to get the 99 and use it for my 98.

the only differences that im aware of are the front bumper and the 99 has the dimming mirror.

also, for whoever can tell me the differences, or anyone in general for that matter, do you think its worth it to get the manual for the 99 to use on my 98? (i can get it for like $25.00.)

thanks in advance all.

ok, i just asked willychu and he said the only differences that hes aware of are the front bumper, seats, lettering, computer, and cam tensioner.

anyone else know of more stuff?

i dont plan to get into anything as in depth as playing with the cam tensioner really, but i need to know if this is gonna be a waste of money to get the 99 manual, like if i wanna do brakes or look up where something is located or something like that; i know the 98 and 99 X's are very very close.

(just in case anyones wondering why i just dont get the chiltons or haynes...its because i dont theyll be in depth enough, besides, this is a great deal.)

thanks again.
