    Ok, I've got a 97 2WD AT, ext cab, long box with 130,000 miles... I saw an ad for a 99 exactly the same as mine but it had 200,000 miles and it was a 4X4. I would like 4-wheel drive but do you guys think it is worth it to trade it? Keep in mind that this year alone I have had to get a new cam position sensor, IDM, power steering hoses, and brakes are going to need some work soon...

    What type of 99 is it? Is it an early 99 or a 99.5 model? Check the build date. How was the truck used? If its an early 99 and towed heavily...and still in stock form...I would be a bit worried about the torque convertor. The early 99's were notorius for bad TC's.
