Listen to them if you want, it is your truck, you decide.

Keisur I dont think Gadget was trying to be rude to you. He was doing as I would do while speaking on stealerships. The stealers will steer you into the dead end they want you on. They want your money! I would rather get good info on how to do it stuff to do it myself from guys that are trying to help me out like Gadget.
I have had this engine pinging noise and it has worried the crap outta me but gadget gave me info that I am going to look into. With over 202,000 miles I have a lot of noises and smells to worry about after the last $1,000 I put into broken timing parts.

I didn't realize you had such an ill opinion of the people here on the YotaTech forum, I never heard anybody on this forum say that putting 17 inch tires on a wheel will fix a bent wheel and I certainly wouldn't believe that because I am not a friggin' idiot. Not sure where you are headed with this kind of reply to a compliment to yourself and the other good folks here on the forum. Good day chief.

You might want to re-read the post you wrote and my responce to it again. It might make more sense to you then, I hope.
I do not have a poor opinion of the folks here. If I did I would not be here. I do have a poor opinion of the goofs at the dealerships that spend all their time trying to convince you there is nothing wrong with your truck instead of fixing it.

Does your truck have an EGR system? If so you might want to check it for proper function. You want to make sure the valve operates properly and that all the passages are free and clear.
If you do not get proper flow in the EGR system you will get ping. If this is the problem it will normall present in cruise and moderate acceleration and it should go away at full throttle. If that is what you have and you have an EGR system suspect the EGR system.
BG Products has a very nice service for cleaning the entire EGR system. The hard part is finding a shop that preforms it.
