Money buys HP.BTW, my VC says 250 and the vin decoder says 235. But after spending a couple of bucks the dyno says something quite different.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

It is the original VC and sticker. I wonder if the fact that is was produced for Canada would make a difference.
Truck was asemmbled at the Jefferson County, KY plant.
Here's the door sticker in English and French.

I wouldn't have thought that a 250 sticker was even around in Mar '98.

Perhaps someone know the facts and will enlighten us.

No, not me. I appreciate the reliability more than smoke coming from the pipe 
Beside putting new compressor wheel my engine is all stock. At least that what I assume since I bought it new. The PO was utility co so not likely they chip the engine to the degree I can not see the addition.
Than I am comparing PSD to other vehicles and seems to me I must have very exceptional engine. Not only runs perfect at 280k, but it really pulls not only 10,000 lb empty, but 30,000 + lb loaded.

Well I have an E99 (8/98) too and my valve cover says 250hp. And I looked at the door sticker and it does NOT have the Canada sticker. And I too have the cat sticker on engine that is why when I replaced the exhaust system I keep the cat just incase Mr. EPA and the state of Indiana ever wants to be a pain in my rear.
And unlike you guys I am still running stock hp
For now!!! But it still pulls my boat without a problem and truck and boat/ trailer are 20,000 lbs.

I would worry 'the man' would just use vin to determine if ya need a cat...
Fwiw, my '00 Excursion sez 235hp and my '01 F350
(6spd) said 275hp. They both put about 100hp more to the rear wheels though - stock sucks!!!!!

They can use the vin to see if theres a Cat, but I haven't seen them do it yet here and I've been going to a check only station. You know its only for our, or my piece of mine and anything can happen.
