Ok The knock sensor will pull the timing (power) if the motor is knocking, knocking does not have to be heard by the ear. I would recommend to run the rest of the 87 octane out and then fill up with some premium (91 or better) octane. Then let us know how it goes.

There is no knock in the engine and the truck is kinda old 158,900 miles on the engine, so i am not sure that 91 would be good on an old truck like this I know I wont be able to run a 10 second quarter mile but there should have been some power increase with the 87 tune right?

Has the truck ever had a cat replaced?
Lets see how it runs when you get the better fuel in it, and the perf tune.

Ok the cat is ok had it in for service a couple months ago and I had them check the exhaust system and they said it was ok. I will try the 91 tune on the truck but if there is no change what is the return policy?

Ron I was reading in another post I have had my truck's computer replaced because it went bad but it was done at the dealership so my SC 3865 should still work on it correct?

Test out the Perf mode when you get a chance. I will extend your trial period, while we are testing. I want to give this a full shot to work. I am not worried about time frames. If you are willing to work with me. Ron _________________ RRAPP@SUPERCHIPS.COM 1-888-227-2447 8-5 EST. Email me directly if your having ANY trouble with the forum.

Sure I am wiling to work with you Ron, I was just worried about the time frame I just did not want to get stuck with something that was over 400.00 and did not work. Lets try the 91 tune and see what happens I will install it tonight since I am low on fuel anyways, I will fill it up with 91 and drive it for a while to get the 87 out of the lines and than put the 91 tune in and than drive it for 50-75 miles is that an ok amount of miles so it can learn how I drive?

Hello Ron I tried the 91 tune and I put the tune in at 159,812 miles I now have 158,895 miles on the truck with the 91 tune installed also I filled the truck with 91 gas and drove it for approx 60 miles before I intalled the tune to make sure the rest of the 87 octane gas was out of the fuel system before installing the 91 tune. I have been driving it with the 91 tune installed and I have not noticed a horse power increase so I would like to know if there is something more I need to do before asking for a refund and return shipping label?
Thanks,
S. Hall

No pinging?
Also try the tow mode while you have the octane.
I will run this past the calibrator.
