Well , guess what ?
I have noticed that with increasing regularity that when my R/T is hot and
I get on the throttle hard that I can hear it starting to ping !
Yes , I am running 87 octane , but I don't have my JET chip on the truck
right now and basically all I have is the 180 stat and the FABM .
I did notice a TSB on this listed ;

This is exactly what mine is doing .
Anyone else with or without an R/T having this problem ?
Mine has almost 9k on it now .
