Default "Pinging" when cooling down?

I've got a '07 1500 Hemi with 800 miles on it and I've noticed when I turn the motor off there's a pinging noise. I don't have spark knock or hear that noise when I'm driving but only when the truck is cooling down. I didn't have this on my other ram 1500 and wonder if this is a problem or just part of a new truck breaking in. Does anyone have any ideas?

The pinging you are hearing is more than likely from metal parts cooling (exhaust). Nothing to worry about
