They all have them, the only difference is the location:

'97-'98 the return line comes directly off the fuel rail.

'99 - up the return line comes off the fuel filter (which is actually a filter/pressure regulator combined.)
HTH

BTW, the '04 MAY be different as it has a different fuel system set-up. Maybe someone can chime in with specifics in the '04 as far as fuel return, etc.
