I'm not disagreeing here. But could someone help me then. I have a 97 v6
that has 13,000 miles on it. at around 8,000 i started getting some spark
nock not under load, but rather when I was driving at a constant speed of
about 35 mph (tach at around 1800 to 2000). I tried 89 octane and that
didn't seem to make a difference. I now run 92 without nock. Should I go
to the dealer and ask them to adjust the timing. I wouldn't think that I
would have a carbon problem with only having this many miles on the truck.
Whattya think????
