Hmm, we have not had any such complaints and the newer revisions do not have any timing altered so it would most likely behave the same way as your current rev. Have you checked the obvious fuel filter?

A little ping is normal when it gets this cold out Nick. Is the ping really bad or is it just a hint that you noticed? My truck is 100% stock right now and I still hear some ping on occasion.

all i have is the exhaust and the chip set in -3...
stack perf.
I changed the oil and fuel filter no change!
I was thinking maybe the stack tune with nothing else might be the problem?
"BUT" i can not put in on perform with out installing the 1500 dollar clutch i got 4 months ago...might as well put on the Jake break i got also. but I just do not have the time....AND every one says i will hate the new clutch????

P.S. the 95 Dodge i got a few months ago with 165K miles on it sounds better than my 06 with 40k on it.how can that be????
It pers like a dream. this thing sounds like the timeing is off the valves are loose and the cam chain is smacking the cover...
the valves have been checked...could it all be the predator?????

If this sound was not present when you first installed the tuner and started building progressively then you might have injector issues, quite common on the 06-07 cummins.
