Both....IIRC. The 01+ rods are weaker (I don't know the specifics on way) but the 99/00 trucks have a better rod. I think about ~14 and up is where the rods start seeing failure. Right now I'm more worried about spitting plugs than throwing a rod where I'm not.

When you say weak link...whats the issue? Failures with stock boost or failure with boost increase. I mean 440 lb/ft and nearly 400 HP is more than most any Contour will ever see..turbo or no.
