You'll lose some ponies and it may or may not cure the pinging. I wonder if
the idle is an IAC problem. Some on the list have eliminated pinging with a
180º t-stat. Your SA may not know but the mechanic doing the flash should
know. I know I'm not much help here but the 4.7 is so new.

Two questions (maybe dumb ones).
1. How would the retard effect the drivability/hp/etc?
2. Do you think the service advisor at my dealer would have a clue if I
asked (Ha!)?
I definitely have to get the idle variation thing fixed, and I think I'm
getting the knock (the truck makes a loud 'blat' sound under 1/2 to WOT).
