Confused?

My truck is a 99 F 350 dually 4x4, and everything that I read tells me that the 99's only made 235 hp and it wasn't untill 2001 that they bumped up the power to 250 hp, but on my valve covers the sticker says its rated at 250 hp. Did they up the power in the duallies or did someone put a new motor in my truck at some point in time.

Maybe the previous owner got valve covers off of a newer truck. I have no idea.
