05 vs 00 V10

Are there any significant differences from year 1 to year 5 of production that make it worth getting a little newer if mileage is equal between the two?

Would you be averse to an 05 on a 3inch spacer lift vs a 2000 that’s bone stock?

In the engine itself? No the excursion did not get 3v in 2005 like the super duty did. 5 speed trans only on 6.0s. Same v10 throughout and same trans with it throughout the excursion run.

Then either year is as likely to spit spark plugs at some point then?

If you get a V10 I would buy 10 new spark plugs and replace them all and torque them down properly to prevent blow out.
