Subject: DML: 5.9L octane rating
Hey, I just picked up my truck at the dealer. ('99 R/T) One of the
items I asked to have inspected was the pinging problem. I gave them
the tsb for the wire rerouting, and advised that Dodge supposedly now
has a computer flash that retards the
timing if the problem cannot be corrected.
Well, the tech asked me what octane I used. I told him 87, which is
what it is spec'd for. He said, No, Dodge says you have to used 92 on
the R/T, prowler, and something else. You can see where this is going.
So, I came home and tried to search the archives for R/T, octane
rating, 5.9L, etc. and the only stuff I came up with this year relates
to octane after installing the m.p. computer, which of course calls for
super unleaded.
I also searched the Dak. spec page that someone posted a few weeks
ago, and it has all but octane rating on it.
So, I need help. Where can I find in print by Dodge that they built
this truck to run on 87? Oh, by the way, I bought
it used and dont have an owners manual.
Thanks,
Patrick
