OK so thats the knock sound. What does the pinging sound like. I have a funny sound during wot and am not sure if its the traction management (TM) or pinging? I have been hearing this on both the 93 and 87 tune.

 

That is the ping. Ping, spark knock. Same thing. Sort of like Liter and Litre

 

And no matter what you call it, it isn't good for your motor

 

Yeah we dont need engine damage from pinging on our new trucks. Unacceptable. Maybe we can get ahold of that Mike Wilson guy thats really good at tunning the Hemi and get a good deal on a group buy or something. Anyone else know of some really good tuners for the Hemi like Mike Wilson?

 

The sound that I hear is more of a higher pitch sound and it almost sounds like its comeing from the rear end and other times it sounds like its coming from the motor. I first noticed it after installing the air raid cai. BEFORE the diablo tune. Any input?

 

M15 if you get a group deal on a tune lemme know, I'm still debating going to a local dealer and dyno tuning but the prices range from $95/hr to $400. How do you gauge this? O.o

 

Yeah i remember there was a couple guys here that bought the wilson tune for like $70 and were really happy with it. If anyone has his e-mail feel free to chime in.

 

Does it sound like BBs in a coffee can?

 

I have been running a Mike Wilson tune for a few months now and the big advantage is that he is able to take away more of the TM. Defintely a difference over the 93 tune. I have no hard numbers but there is a difference. I am taking it a step further this week and have logged some data and he will be customizing my tune based on the logged data from my trinity. I will send this forum link to Mike so he can come up with some ideas for a group buy. Not sure if he does it but it doesn't hurt to ask.

It is the airaid cai making that sound. I have not bought a tuner yet but noticed exactly what you said here after the airaid mxp install. I was going to have dealer look at truck at next oil change because it really did not sound like it was coming from the engine compartment and I could only hear it with the windows up. Open the drivers door when taking off and you cannot here it. I removed the airaid and put in a k&n drop in and the thing went quiet again. It may be the airaid airbox seal not sealing tight against the hood and the air gap causes the sound at part throttle because I do not see any marks on the hood insulation from the seal on top of airaid box. May try the S&B intake when they release one for the 09, that is the only other one I found that has the fender cold air vent.

So now I have a 14" mufflex that I removed cause my truck sounded like a 1975 chevy with it and an airaid mxp that I did not like the sound just sitting collecting dust.
