So, my 2011 has been giving me a weird "power loss" issue since new (to me), and now it's progressed into a spark knock and pinging.
Power loss occurs after WUE has ended on a cold start. When the truck is stone cold and on warm up, runs great, no knock, "feels" like a 200hp engine. After WUE, it feels like a 2.3.
Truck knocks and pings when running 87, especially on gentle hills under 2200 rpm, and gets a steady 16-17mpg. Not sure where to chase the issue next.
Oddly, when I run 93, the power loss issue clears up, and it doesn't ping. Also gets a consistent 20+ mpg on 93.
No codes, tuner has been off for the last 3k miles or so.
Open to suggestions, fellas.
