think you can get the tech's to sign an affidavit saying they hear the ping?
At least then when it craps out you have some proof it was there even if the
rep can't hear it.

Subject: DML: I hear the ping. Techs hear the PING, Chrysler rep cannot!
WTF!
The saga of my '99 5.2l continues in my mind, but ends in Chrysler's.....!
The dealership after MANY attempts to rid my 5.2 of its ping calls in the
Chrysler rep that emphatically states, with a straight face that he does not
hear a ping. At the same time I can hear it plain as day. What a PUTZ! He
says he'll note it in my file, I say that's an unacceptable answer and that
I'll be extremely pissed of when the engine blows up at 50k because of
detonation. He stops short of an apology. In the meantime, the truck now
runs worse than it EVER has. It stumbles along at anything under 1900 RPMs,
grudgingly makes ANY power under 3000 rpms and basically runs like a vehicle
that needed a tuneup 190,000 miles ago! The truck as a mere 37,000 miles.
I'm out of answers short of driving it through the dealership front window
then going and buying a Ford. And them's strong words from a 30 year,
dedicated Mopar owner!
Any help is surely appreciated....
Rick
