my truck started knocking and pinging during acceleration and going up hill. it still has power and no shaking. i've got new platnum plugs, i added preston gas treatment, and lucus oil treatment(1/4 bottle). what could cause this problem that is not a major fix?

Have the knock sensor checked. Also, have you tried a better grade of fuel?

Let me know.
