[QUOTE="throttle jockey, post: 7762019, member: 54243"] 99-00 made 360 BHP/440 BTQ whereas the 01-04s made 380 BHP/450 BTQ. The 99-02 (and some early 2003) Lightnings came with four thread heads, meaning that four threads held the spark plugs in place. These years were prone to "launching" plugs but this can be avoided by torquing the plugs to 14 lb./ft. and by checking them periodically to ensure they are not loose. In 2003 and 2004 the heads switched to eight threads. Also, the 99-00s had issues with the intercooler core leaking. At one time Ford fixed them at no cost but it was not a recall and they no longer do it free of cost. If you look into buying a 99-00 be sure to verify whether or not this has been corrected. All years fall under a cruise control recall that Ford corrects free of charge. I just noticed zeedee mentioned the other notable differences. [/QUOTE]
