jster171 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I'm looking for a BLUE 03 or 04 SS. I just need to know if theres a difference in the 2 year models and any "watchouts" for either of these 2 year model trucks. Is one more desirable than the the other etc. I used to have an 04 Lightning which was the last model run and the most desirable. The 99 to 01 Lightnings had less HP and were bad about blowing the sparklugs out of the head once modded. So again, is there a difference in the 03 to 04 SS and anything that I need to watchout for? Thanks in advance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black2003SS Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 The 03 had a return style fuel system. The 04+ have a returnless. The main reason this would be of importance would be for future modding. On most 03's, you would be required to add upgraded fuel injectors and you could use an inline booster pump rather than have to do a complete in-tank fuel pump swap. On 04+ you would be required to upgrade the intank pump for any serious modding like big heads/cam or forced induction. Both years are AWD only. Other than very minor options, they are pretty much the same truck. Obviously, since you want the arrival blue, you are limited to the 03 and 04 years. 05 made AWD an option.

jster171 Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Thanks for the info, I do plan to put a supercharger on it. So, sounds like an 04 would be the easiest and least expensive to supercharge. However, I see that you have an 03 and have it supercharged as well. So I assume its not TO big of a deal to supercharge an 03 other than a little extra mechanical work. Am I thinking correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black2003SS Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 No...you misunderstood me...you want the 03, not the 04. 04's require in tank pumps and injectors also. 03's are slightly easier to upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trucksnoobie Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 she ain't blue, but its an 03, and black looks better anyway. http://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=407829 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireRescueSS Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 I've had several fuel system issues with my '04, but not sure if the previous owner ran cheap, crappy, low grade/octane fuel in her. Blue is the most desireable color of them anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
