search for "death flash", theres tons of information

basically it means that at some point, someone complained about pinging (because the plenum gasket had failed), and instead of fixing the issue they put a program in the computer that retarded the timing and did a couple other things to minimize the pinging

I dont really have this problem with the regearing and I have bigger tires, is it because I am driving a manual tranny instead of an automatic?

You have a considerable amount of mods, including the hypertech, I have a programmer on the way.

I will report back when I get it re-tuned.

you will be happy. just donnt expect to much. they are great but donnt think that its going to make your truck "superbad". it takes many mods together to make it a runner or puller.

sounds like you need a gear change. 4.56 or 4.88.
