    I can tell you from being around those trucks that some things are the same and some are different. I wouldn't trust the wiring side with coloring and routing, but everything else should be pretty close.

    Im having to really reach back, but I believe the DT466E, which is the electronic model started around 94 or 95.

    Nobody’s paying you to work on it so it turns into a question of what is your time worth when you otherwise could be driving the truck and hauling a load, If the shop can get you fixed up and back on the road fast. Also coming home after a week or two gone the last thing you want to do is dik around with the truck on your 2 or 3 days off.
