Hi Richard;
Are you certain it's pinging and not exhaust noise? Take a look at your
exhaust manifold mounting bolts...they may be loose, an exhaust leak
in that area will often sound like pinging, and it will typically be the worst
under load.
I had three loose manifold bolts on my '98 3.9 V-6. It's much quieter now...
except for the injector noise! ;~D
