Trucky,
It is quite possible that SR switched over to LED readouts as the supply of the mechanical version was exhausted during the '99 model year. If you have the 220 HP carbureted version of the 5.0, then it will not be possible to use the scan tool (ask your mechanic to be sure). The scan tool is compatible with the 240 HP EFI version of the 5.0. Quite frankly, I would not be to overly concerned with this aspect, especially if the mechanic gives the engine a clean bill of health.
I hope all goes well during your sea trial and survey.
