I tried searching, but had no luck- How do you discern if you have a 98 or 98.5?

Trying to figure out if I have speedo gears or need to buy like a hypertech....

 

Look for the build date of the truck on the drivers door.

 

what's the difference in a 98 and a 98.5? I can guess either speedo gears or not. But what other differences were there?

 

the date on the inside of the drives door. will be above 8/98 if its the 98 1/2. below 8/98 if it the 98

 

Not sure that is entirely accurate..... the 98's came out in 7 or 8 of 97....... so, verifying the break point would be a REAL good idea.

 

i think it only realy matters when it comes to the ctd's 1998 are 12v 1998.5 are 24v

you are better off getting a sct tuner , 2nd is superchips

 

Mines 6/98 . Didn't the 99s start being built around 8/98???


Lst time I looked for gears (last year when I had 35s), they were like 25 bucks. Now they are almost 50. I'll go see if I can get the dealer to do it for $50... thats a lot easier...

 

Yep. It would just be too scary to have the 99 trucks on the lot in...... 99..... Oh no.. they gotta be out in late 98........

 

my truck is a 99 but the door says 98 lol

 

that happens a lot but it all depends on when it is built but that is nothing compared to this. a 85 d350 registered as a 94 3500 because that is the first year it was register.
