Interesting - I'd never heard of this concern before. In my case (2000 S) this generates a pair of questions:
1). Is this an S vs. Base issue, in that the higher powered S tubs were perhaps made to be stronger right from the start?
2). Didn't the 2000 S versions come with 18" wheels as an option? Or did the 18" wheel option start for the 2001 model year?
Thanks - DM
