Yuh know, is there EVER just ONE issue with old trucks?!

I'd be happy to adjust my idle speed downward. It's just that the throttle linkage seems to hang up somewhere when coming down. So I can pull the accelerator pedal BACK to get it down all the way, but it won't do it on its own. Of course, the throttle linkage on this cab-forward is absolutely hellacious . . .

Can you please define "Pinging" for me? What it sounds like, and what causes it?

I'm not bloody likely to add altitude and ambient temperature to the equation right now . . . St. Louis is blessedly not that high. Of course, it IS around 10 degrees outside right now, but I was silly enough to buy a garage which I can keep heated above freezing.

Sheesh, I can't wait to get back to working on my '41 Chevy . . . surely, it will seem like A BREEZE after this monstrosity . . .
