If the a/f ratio is in the 9.0 area, the truck just don't run, so it's obvious that there is an issue, so detonation isn't a concern for me when running rich.
I've never had detonation occur when a vehicle runs too rich, cause 10.5 still isn't too rich, just my opinion.
I've heard others say this, that a rich condition will cause KR, but I haven't experienced it, but I'd like to hear about it.
