Engine backfire on deceleration

My 93 dakota 5.2L backfires and pops and rumbles when ever I let off the gas
or just as I apply throttle after coasting. I have a couple of shops look at
it, but no success. I also am getting a fair amount of "pinging." even on
premium gas. I suspect the infamous belly pan gasket is leaking. My question
is, could a leaking belly pan gasket cause this backfire? Does anyone have
any suggestions for other possible causes/cures for this backfire?
