are the exhausts not stainless steel on these rigs? and why not just replace it with a better sounding stainless steel option rather than paint? just curious

No they are not stainless from the factory. Cost factor is probably a large reason.

If you do get an 00/01 and need a CDL linkage assembly soon...Brandan Rohne, on the Ohio Green Oval facebook group has three he is selling. Brian.

Here is the truck your were referencing for sale:

thats a nice rig, there seem to be lots of 03-04 on kijiji in my area, maybe theres a reason for that. one really nice 03 that comes with a T case from a 00 and a 4.0 engine spare in case the 4.6 goes, but i still might be better off getting a 99-01. definitely going to need the CDL.

The dealer I work at we just appraised a 02 with 100k it has engine codes but no abs codes, going to give them close to nothing for it if anyone is local to Pittsburgh
