They're pretty much the same motor so no surprises there, just a redesigned body. Sorry to hear about your crash. Good luck with your new truck!

Dude, I feel for you. I had a '91 XLT. Black pearl paint, nice stereo, and a remote starter. The guy I bought it from spent two weeks fixing up some parts that were rusted out. New front brakes. And 3 days after I registered it. Some first class yoyo plowed into me on the drivers side, and totaled it. But on the brighter side, with the insurance money I was able to buy a '92 XLT 5 speed, and a '92 Sport. Hope you are doing better man
