Mine has no engine badge at all. I can't tell if it had one and it was removed or it never had one. I suspect it had something there...

 

The date everyone is referring to is the build date of the truck. It's on the sticker in the door jamb.

 

Ja, I know, I'm talking about the Powerstroke badge on the side of the truck. Mine has none and no signs it ever did.

 

Oh, lol.

Being in CT has that affect on people.

 

Derp, did Pica just make a my little pony reference?

 

I don't know. Is that where it started?

 

I always thought so, but it looks like a chicken and egg kinda situation

My truck has a 4/99 build date but does not have a cruise control light

 

Yours is late 99

 

My engine was built Aug 98 I forget what the door sticker was but it's a E99. Now one of the easiest ways I have found to see if you have a E99 engine is a E99 has a 4 bolt compressor housing and a late99 has a 5 bolt compressor housing.

Now as some have pointed out there was a period that you could have a truck with a late99 engine and still end up with E99 brakes?

 

Would not surprise me at all. I have found there are some front end suspension parts that have a switch over date of March 1, 1999. The Pittman arm might be one of them. I don't feel as though that slightly larger rotor will make a big difference with the brakes. It would help dissipate heat in heavy use applications but if you're not in that category I wouldn't worry about it. And I am not. The pads have the same surface area.

 

A larger rotor would offer better braking power from increased radius leverage.
