Yeah I figured it was a mistake. Have you tried different plugs? I know our hemi recomends you dont use 87 but it runs fine on it. we were sometimes putting 91 in it but since gas went up screw that

Odd I run the cheap autolites and never get any ping or knock on 87. Since I've owned the truck it hasnt saw anything other than 87

You using any oil? Just take your air hat off and look down through your throttle body you will be able to see if its bad or not.
