Btw you sure you have PVH 90% of 2000 don't it's just really early ones
I never said all 2000's. Just mine, seems like every couple of weeks its in the shop or im fixing something, I like the live axle setup alot better and my truck is pretty beat up (old farm truck) and im getting a degree in business and ill need a more professional looking vehicle, and im not giving up having a pickup. aka not a old beat up farm truck :P Im pretty sure i have PVH hubs because on my coolant resovor it says coolant check -35 degrees- 1999, I believe the car fax said it was sold in September of 1999.

Yes i wanted a 01+ but at the time i couldn't find one that was over priced. ex 2002 with 135k was 10-12k when i was looking. If they work or not isn't a big deal to me, last year i owned a 2wd truck (open diff, so 1 wheel wonder) and did pretty good. This truck as a limited slip so that will help if 4wd doesn't work.
