Default dodge dealer

Hi guys,

Last night I went to the dodge dealer, a Tech drove with me and he agrees that I have spark knock... I told him which kind of repairs we already did. After the talk he said the first thing that he would try is updating the computer, that might help and the second thing would be looking at the distributor shaft bearing....

But I also will let them know about the fuel pressure....

I will keep you guys updated.....

Thanks

don't let them 'update the computer'... that's more commonly known around here as the 'death flash'... They retune the computer to eliminate the knocking, but at a big cost to your power and performance....

search death flash, there's lots of talk about it here...

good luck with the truck
