Hey Mike!
Sorry to hear about your baby's bruise.
As far as the pinging, they are some questions you need to answer for us.
are you still running the plugs from the factory? What octane of gas are you
running? How hard are you accelerating when hearing the pinging? Rephrased -
how hard do you have to accelerate before pinging begins?
Let us know.

Hey All,
It's been forever since i last posted...busy enjoyin the Dak...she's given
me
15000 trouble free miles so far. However, there's a few things come up.
Pinging...it did it really bad on my last road trip...and i mean REALLY
bad...in EVERY gear in my pattern!!! i stopped down the road and dumped
some
chevron plus gas in....it seemed to help. any thoughts??
Rough idle...it idles rough...and every once in a while, i'll get in, and it
will visibly shake at idle...
She also got hit on saturday for the THIRD time!!! i'm thinkin black is an
unlucky color or something like that. nailed right above the left rear
wheel, moved the rear of the truck six incnes, scratched my wheel, cut the
tire...i found out from the adjuster, via my body shop guy that they're
going
to remove and replace the side of the bed, and get me a new wheel and tire.
i'm havin them save the scratched wheel/tire for a matching spare finally!!
They gave me this Ram 1500 QC, with a 360 auto for a rental...big big big
compared to my baby!! i get her back next week sometime...
