I finally received a call from the Dodge Arbitration board to discuss my
spark knock/ping trouble. Has anyone dealt with this panel before? What can
I expect? Any input would be appreciated.

Have you tried the 180 degree thernostat? It will
help remove the pinging on 5.2s. Cheap mod and very
easy to do as well. When you buy the new PCM, you might
have to use the extra (91-93 octane) gas.
