I have nothing but good things to say about the 98-04 fronty's, they are built like tanks.
We used to tow a 4000LB boat (with trailor), with 200LB of gas, and a weeks worth of camping gear. We would then stick 5 people in the cab, and also a weeks worth of food/beer/drinks/water out in the back. Proceeding onward, we would then take this rig up a 20mile long 6% grade, in the middle of the summer, in the mohave desert (120F) and the truck never once failed on us. Now., I would be in second gear, full throttle, and doing about 35 miles an hour, but we ALWAYS got there, and with the airconditioning blowing full blast too  |
I compleately agree with you which is why I drive an 04 and my dad a 01.
The 3.3 will take tons of abuse. It will strugle with heavier loads but whos in a hurry towing 4k anyway.
SNAFU, from what I understand the newer manifolds are supposed to be thicker in the ares where the old ones were prone to cracking. So far my dads havent been leacking in the 38k they have been on there.
The knock sensor is a time consuming job and the intake manifold has to come off.
I wouldnt let that sensor scare you away from the truck. They are good trucks.
