Pinging solved!!!

Well, it seems the pinging is gone and the truck pulls really hard all the way to redline now.

All I did was clean the MAF sensor near the airbox and the problem stopped.

I found threads in the ranger forum refering to dirty MAF sensors causing a lean condition and hence my pinging.

My sensor was quite dirty, it had this black residue all over the side facing the incoming air. I cleaned it with contact cleaner and a small toothbrush very very gently.

The problems seem to have all gone away now...!!!

Pass this one on to everyone as a fix
