On here the 01.5 ususlly is just a reference to rear discs, because there is a lot of inconstiency with the other changes.







Some truck are freaks, like yours!

The 2001.5 has the HO motor which has 245 hp instead of 235hp wow! There are a few upgrades on the internal workings also. I am pretty sure you dont have to worry about the dreaded 53 block.

Not all 01.5 have the HO, only the 6 speeds. And yeah, I have never heard of a 53 block in a truck that new.

Yeah, that list is inconsistent. My 01.5 has the black antenna and rear cupholders.
Also the HO/SO wasn't based on the 01.5 or '01 model year trucks. It was based off the 6spd - vs - auto. A buddy has an 01.5 with rear discs, but it's an auto with the SO motor and HY-35 turbo.
