I was wondering if anyone has this issue.
Under light throttle while pulling out or pulling a slight grade the engine pings.
It's not a loud, hard ping but none the less it pings. While it's pinging if you give it a heavy throttle it goes away instantly. If you ease up on the throttle the pinging comes back.
I don't notice any pinging at highway speeds. It's only at low speeds (10 to 30 mph) or so at light throttle.
I've tried several brands of gas and even tried the middle grade (or plus) gas to no avail eek:
