03-04 have all the bugs fixed like the extra threads for the spark plugs, better cooling. First gen lightning is true OG shit you ain't ready for lol.

What was wrong with the prior cooling problem ?

Has a couple bolt ons but its got over 100k on the ticker some silly race stripe. Not sure if the 01s came with those tailights. Double check the headlights to make sure it says SVT on them. I'd be more like 9K on it since its not fully stock. I'd pay more for a stock truck than one with all these bolt ons unless you know the person who put them on or he's got receipts.
