Another Newbie question

You may have seen in my other post that I may be buying a 2001 3500 6 speed CTD 4x2. Actually, it is between this truck and a 1999 3500 CTD 5 speed. The trucks have similar mileage (about 100K), but the price difference is about 4K!

If the trucks are in similar condition, is there something positive about the 2001 (or negative about the 1999) that would make me spend the extra 4K? Actually, I'm leaning towards the 2001 model, mainly out of fear of the older 1999, but this isn't based on much anything.

Thanks!

Paul
