How loud is the pinging that everyone is hearing? Hear it with windows up? Windows down? Have to stick your head out the window to hear it?
87 octane ... hear it all the time, and like another poster said, with windows up and music playing its not obvious .. however what is obvious is is how the torque becomes shaky.
89 octane .. hear it. but rarely ... its a lot less pronounced... torque becomes smoother
92 octane.. the best choice, unfortunate for me, it costs more ..@ this level it becomes almost none existent ... engine has smoother acceleration.
Running the ac compressor makes the problem more pronounced (more load)
Its like taking a hammer and smacking the piston with it ... most people are fine with that or have no clue it happening .
For the greater part I haven't heard it on the other JL's so I would say this applies for a select few of us
