I have a 2000, 3/4 ton Pick Up with the V-10 engine.  It has had a problem
with engine knock (ping) since it was new.  It now has about 55,000 miles on

I would be interested in hearing from people with similar problems.  So far

Just heard from a friend I went through gunnery school with in Denver

his was returned stamped MIA.  Haven't talked to him in 53 years.

didn't realize it never had a key slot on the passenger door. I can
