SPARK KNOCK WHICH THEY TELL ME IS NORMAL AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT ,BUT IT IS SO LOUD I CAN HEAR IT OVER THE RADIO AT MODERATE LEVEL,CONTACT FACTORY AND THEY STATE THIS NORMAL,NOW MY TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY

NO SUMMARY

WHEN ACCELERATING ENGINE PINGS-PARTICULARY ON HILLS AT HIGHER SPEEDS/SECOND TIME THEY SUGGESTED IT WAS FUEL QUALITY AND ON LAST COMPLAINT THEY ATTEMPTED TO DECARBONIZE ENGINE.AND SUGGEST USING FUEL ADDITIVE AT EVERY 3 THOUSAND MILES- ALSO STATED THAT THIS SPARKPLUG KNOCK WOULD NOT HARM ENGINE- GARDEN CITY DODE MI. WAS VERY NICE AND ADMITTED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS ACCURED ON OTHER VEHICLES. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS NOT HOW A NEW ENGINE SHOULD PERFORM AND WILL BRING PROBLEMS DOWN THE LINE -ESPECIALLY WHEN WARRENTY IS GONE- IS THIS HOW A NEW ERNGINE SHOULD PERFORM AND IT SEAMS QUITE EVIDENT THAT IT WILL SHORTEN THE QUALITY AND LIFE OF THE ENGINE- ALSO THE KNOCK CONTINUES AND IVE EXHAUSTED ALL AVAILABLE OPTIONS FOR FUEL. REGARDLESS OF THE BRAND AND STILL USING RECOMENDED OCTAIN AS SCINCE DAY ONE (87)

1ST OIL CHANGE NOTICED EXTRA OIL ON DIP STICK, TOOK BACK TO DEALER FOR CHECK,TOLD TRUCK WAS MAKING OIL! CHANGED FUEL PUMP "NO HELP" NEXT WEEK CHANGED FUEL INJECTORS "NO HELP" KEEP CHANGING OIL EVERY WEEK , ANY SUGESTIONS???????
