There's a fix for the '99s??? The final fix that I'm aware of from the factory is to flash the PCM. From everything I've heard on that the truck loses all the balls it ever had (which ain't much with a '99). I've got a 180 t-stat, colder plugs, and only run 89 octane...still sounds like a diesel under decent load. I've just resigned myself to the fact that 1999 was the worst year for the good 'ole 318.
