Welcome to the forum. If the vehicles are in similar condition then the later the model ZD30, the better. Early versions of that engine had problems (melting pistons) but later ones where more reliable.
Problem occurred when towing heavy loads up hills at highway speeds.

I am he, fear me
Welcome.... and, all else being equal the 2004 will be better as it is after the early period when the ZD30 had an unusual number of failures
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Hello Sherwin and welcome to the forum.
avoid the early ZD30 say 2001-2003 and buy the lastest model you can afford
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
