is ur truck tuned to run the N20, ??? i think mine is -4 deg's
 
yes it's tuned im also tuned -4º it has to be a plug... i'm pretty sure
 
I would pull the plugs and check them out,cheap insurance and you definatly don't want to be detonating or you will be rebuilding sooner then you want,if you don't find anything it could be a wire maybe?
 
I just think that if you pull the plugs, you should replace them...keep the old ones and be sure you mark the numbers...just insurance and a good reference for future use.

yeah i'm pretty sure i need to get some new ones in there... if i'm going to pull them i'm going to replace them lol might as well haha
 
i use only race gas ms109 and never had problems, how often do you hit the giggle gas? if you do it often you plug gap off from the heat and possible other problems with the plug.
 
I change my plugs at 10,000 miles per Stinker's advice for being FI......back in the day before unleaded gas plugs were changed every 8-15,000 miles........watch your O2 sensors too..lead will eventially kill them....how soon varies widely...freind of mine with a C6 Corvette put 110 in it and his sensors were gone within 10 miles....some get by 20,000 miles+.......

Far as oil use you should go at least 1,000 miles before being a qt low......my motor was built with racing rings and just now seem to be seating after 12,000 miles......I was using a qt every 400-600 miles.......since the last oil change I have added 2 qts....1st at 700 miles, 2nd at 1000 miles....have gone 300 miles now and the oil level has not moved from the full mark.

You oil should not have dropped to zero...not good..
 
just checked all my plugs... the pass side looks fine...an little dirty i will post a picture here after while i'm going to try to dump some 93octane into the tank and let it sit an mix a little to see if she'll clear up
