I hoped this would help my pinging 6er. Today, I filled it up with
87 octane.
Still pingin'. It's better, and it definitely is running smoother,
but it's not cured. :(
Friday I'm taking it in for some end-of-warranty work (35,791 miles-
but who's counting?), so I'm gonna have them check the pinging, but I
doubt they'll have a fix. I want it on record though. It isn't a
big deal now, since it doesn't do it much, but if it gets worse....
At least I have pretty spark plug wires. :)

sorry to hear your truck is still pinging Flip. i think i now understand why
my truck doesn't ping. i have never ran anything less than 89 octane in it.
i used to only run 91 for th first year but i figured i was wasting to much
money on gas so i switched down to 89. every once in a while i run 94
through it for grins. seems to pull harder on the good stuff.
