Unless you have some kind of mod/mods on your truck that would facilitate
the use of 93 octane fuel , the owners manual clearly states that only 87
octane is required .
Like myself , others have noticed light pinging under WOT during hot
weather while using 87 octane . Some have been told by the dealer that they
need to just go up to 93 octane . This is not an acceptable answer from
anyone to me . You can't put it in writing that a truck only needs 87
octane and then just say to use 93 octane because there is a problem . It's
not even legal .
I have been doing 93 here because I have that problem with 87 and I have
not been able to get it to the dealer yet cuz he is way far away ,but when
they tell me to run 93 , I will just chuckle and then chew them up because
it has started to do it ever so slightly on 93 from time to time .
If they tell you to run 93 , it's only prolonging the inevitable until
after the warranty runs out .
Just my opinion
