hey, thanks guys....
No check engine light, but I will try retarding the timing a bit. When I do that do I need to do the jumper thing? Or is that just when using a timing light to set it?
One more thing.... since I bought the Runner the charge and brake light has been on constantly - I read about the brushes on the alternator and replaced them but lights are still on..... could that be part of a pinging problem?
