Vortec Cylinder heads and multi port fuel injection. More torque and HP.
1995 you could buy the fuel pump separate from the fuel sending unit. pump costs around $125 (Acdelco). 1999 it is all one piece called a fuel pump module, sender and pump. around$450 dollars(Acdelco)
1/2 tons in 1999 had the auto 4wd option. I don't think the 3/4 tons did.
interior and exterior are the same.
