1999 5.4L - 195 or 260hp?
I just bought a truck and haven't had time to really get into the engine. It's a 1999 5.4L Ford XLT.

How can I tell whether it's got the the 195hp or 260hp engine without going to a dyno?

Thanks

Well I was reading here that 1999 had 2 separate 5.4L engines...

The 190 HP engine was a flex fuel vehicle. The straight gasolene engine had 260 HP.

One is the 'Flex Fuel Vehicle' while the other is just your regular gas 5.4L.
