What to do after PCM is flashed...

Hello Digest members:

Unfortunately, the dealer flashed by PCM back in 1998 to fix a pinging
problem that I was having with my '98 Dakota 4X4 318. Of course, the flash
performed under the pinging TSB didn't solve the problem. It turned out
that one of my lifters was gouging the cam and causing alot of friction,
hence the pinging. Once that problem was fixed, the pinging was cured.
However, now I am stuck with a PCM flash that has retarded the timing by 4
degrees, according to members on the list. Is there any way to fix this
flash problem other than buy a Mopar performance PCM? I am thinking of buy
a Jet stage II chip that someone on the list has for sale. What do you
recommend? By the way, my Dakota has JBA headers, 180 T-stat, K&N GenII
FIPK. Thanks in advance!
