I can only recount the history.... Any conclusion or reasons why are up to
somebody else. ;-)
I bought my '98 5.2L 4x4 CC on 3/10/98 (built in Dec. 1997). From the first day
there was a slight knock or ping with mild acceleration under load (like going
up a hill). There was no noticeable ping at WOT. At 2,669 miles I installed a
180 T. Stat. and switched to synthetic oil in an attempt to cure it... No
success. At 5,471 miles I installed JBA headers on my vehicle and have not
heard (with the notable exception of Bosch +4 plugs) a single ping since. I
have only burned name brand (primarily Mobil but also Gulf, Texaco, Sunoco,
Shell and Exxon) 87 octane gasoline since new.

How about trucks that used to ping but don't ping anymore?!
