They updated the guides in mid 03, so you are better off over the older trucks. I would still replace the timing chain tensioners at 70k latest. My dads 07 only has 30k on it but I plan on doing it in the next few months due to age.

for what its worth, I bought my first ranger, a 2002, in 2004 with 32k miles on it. It started making the dreaded timing chain rattle between 2-3k rpms at 45k in 2005.
