The reason why they said that is because I believe the case in the 98 and later units changed. I believe that the trans in your truck is what I would consider a one piece case. Meaning that the bell housing is not removable. In 96 they changed the solenoids on the valve body so that is why you would need the two years mentioned. HTH Vince
