Re: which factory shop manuals are interchangeable?
There are probably almost no differences in the 1999, 2000 and 2001 vans. The only difference I know of is the fuel injection system changed with the "X" engine around 2000 or 2001. Look for the 8th digit in your VIN. If it is an "X" go with a 2001 manual. If it is a "W" go with the 1999 manual.

Here's one set, a little bit pricey, though.
