pinging?

My 95 302 pings in 2nd and 3rd gear when I am not speeding up or slowing down. It is right at the point where I am just cruzing along at a perfect pace. It is realy anoying because when I pulled a trailer not to long ago, I kept it out of od and so it pinged alot. It was a pain in the but I would get hauling butt then slow down then haul butt again jsut so it wouldnt ping. Please help.

Also how can I find threads that I have posted in without looking thew them all.

pinging?

when was the last tune-up done? sound likes the timing is off or you're running too low of an octane of fuel.

pinging?

I dont know when the last tune-up was done. I have had the truck for about 4-5 months now. It runs perfect other than the pinging. Thats why I havent done a tune up, it just runs great with out even the slightest hickup. It cant be to low of octang, I just run 87, and I have since I got the truck. It didnt have anyproblems before. Yeah I will have my brother check the codes he has done of the handheld computer tester thingese. Thanks gusys.
One last thing. How hard is it to replace the instrament cluster. My speedo is not workking properly, jumps all over the place, and I have checked the sensor. It looked very clean.
