the '96 and '98 motors are OBD II, whereas your '95 is OBD I.. the only
probs you'll have are the gauges, and the O2 sensors (since OBD II uses
more than 1) as far as emmissions, pre-96 trucks have external EGR, the 96
and newer have internal EGR. that *may* give you problems when you go to
get it inspected. I'd go w/ the motor with lesser miles, as they're both
identical otherwise... actually, come to think of it... if I were you I'd
buy BOTH motors, and let Jon Smith have the other one ;-)
