Pinging and Knocking when "under load" >>
I searched the 2nd gen forum and found tons of good info already on this subject.....but wanted to get some up to date clarification.
With normal driving, I do not hear any pinging/knocking. BUT...If I start to climb a hill at 55mph and the truck is still in OD I will hear what sounds like a pinging/knocking-maybe even a heat_shield_rattle type of noise. When it downshifts, I can still hear some knocking, but not as much as when it was in OD.
Oil consumption is about 1/2 quart every 5k. 202,000 miles, 5.9L, 4 x 2
What can I do to narrow the problem down? I understand it could be the plenum gasket, but could it be something simpler?
Has anyone here had similar symptoms? --and the fix, what did the real fix end up being?

Hi ChrisTX, I have a 98 quad cab 5.9L and have already had an intake manifold gasket installed. I have always had a spark knock in the truck since new and the only way it would go away is premium gasoline. Especially when I tow my 5th wheel.
I live in eastern Canada and even in the winter, it's premium gas.
