    It's possible, since chips can affect timing. The pinging may go away, if you use higher octane gas. Ensure the truck is not starting to overheat. Also, consider installing colder Motorcraft spark plugs. It's best to use Motorcraft or Autolite spark plugs in Fords--stay away from Bosch. Using 5W-30 full-synthetic engine oil will also reduce the required octane and help the engine run cooler.
