You shouldn't be running 86? octane gas with a Jet Stage II chip. You're
essentially beating the crap out of your engine, at least your pistons...and
rods....and crankshaft, etc. I would do the 180 t-stat and 3923 plugs
sooner than later to at least help in alleviating the pinging. With the Jet
chip I don't think you're going to get rid of it (due to advanced timing)
without going to 92+ octane gas.

Subject: DML: Octane boosters - do they work/are they safe?
I was just curious whether octane boosters are
effective and whether they're ok to use, particularly
on the 5.9L engine. I'd like to get rid of some
knocking that I've sometimes experienced using 86
octane gas. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
