Latest software update for your PCM

Just an FYI.

I was at the Landmark Dodge last Saturday having them take care of a few
small warranty items on my 99 SY RC R/T and one of the things was a dead
spot in the pedal.
I talked with the guy working on it, who seemed fairly knowledgeable (a
first for any dealer tech I have dealt with) and he said he really
didn't want to flash it because the latest software update backs 4
degrees of timing off !! Yep, he said that on some vehicles that are
pinging and they don;t have the intake gasket problem, DC has written a
program that retards the timing by 4 degrees! Anyone wanna guess at what
that does to performance ? I mean, that is one of the main things that
the MP SBEC does to increase HP is to ADVANCE the timing over stock
specs.

Anyone else hear of this yet ?

Jack
