Re: V10 Pinging on 87
It's a 99 crewcab 4x4 LB. I had the flutter thing checked out and got the super cheap-ass ford fix...the dumbbell hanging off the exhaust, it worked. It sure does sound like a ping to me. I bought one of these Superchip programmers and before I used it I called the manuf and came to the conclusion that the previous owner may have installed this piece of crap on my truck. I went to the dealer and had him reprogram the computer (in like december), it helped a whole bunch and stopped pinging on 89 (which is what I usually ran, 2 out of 3 times) but since the gas hikes I've been running 87 (It was $2.30/gal for a while in CA). Before the re-programing it wouldn't stop pinging on anything (87, 89, 92, booster, injector cleaner, different exhaust...I tried it all). But now it pings quite a bit more on 87 than usual. Since the gas hikes it seems like the gas just went to hell, hopefully it isn't my truck.
Anyone have any expertise knowledge on programming the brain, could it take a few times to get it to stick (some fuzzy logic in there or something)?
