to diff 5.9 engines, same year?
A friend just bought a 99. Nice looking ride. When we popped the hood, two things i noticed right off. Her radiator setup is completely different than mine and her radiator cap is on her upper radiator hose. I'd like to say its due to a cross over year but i owned a 2000 and it had the same setup as my 99, except the upper radiator hose had the cap on it. Did they produce two versions of a 5.9 in 1999?

Hey sharp, here's a couple of pics. her manufacture date is 11/99 and the hood sticker reads 5.9.
Pic 1 Note the upper radiator hose and top of radiator is all black with overflow built in.
Pic 2 Is my radiator (manufactured 6/99)
She also has an aux fan, which mine doesn't have. I just had to ask cause it perplexed me....lol.

hers is part of the 'new' design for the first gen trucks, the auxillary fan and different fan shroud were used on the second half of the 1st generation trucks. 2000 was a transition model year, do it could have either set up, or any combination of parts, same engine, just different fan shroud
