Default Re: knock retard

The best wat I know of is to get high octane race gas around 100 or better. If you still have KR then it's false.

Default knock retard

What is the best way to find out if your knock is real or false. my truck has a 4 to 9 knock. if i take away the hppiii tuning or reduce the octane to 87 should that fix my knock. one of my mufflers is rattling so i want to find out if that is the problem. thanx

If you have real knock you will hear pinging.Lower octane fuel would probably make it worse.False KR can be caused by loose components banging.Secure your loose exhaust and see what happens.
