Re: Why is everyone pinging?

I still can't decide whether mine is a ping or the injectors, but the truck
flies and the duals drown out the clicks from under the hood anyways. I
thought pinging was due to the timing being too advanced in the V8 computers?
Isn't there supposed to be a "factory burn-in" that's coming for the 99s? How
would retarding the timing affect my MSD? BTW, it's had ONLY Amoco 93
Ultimate since mile 1, so it ain't the gas! Would an MSD timing retarder work
without nitrous, and what does it do to the truck's computer timing? I'm
trying to fix this without the dealer's help.
