Angry pos truck

this damn truck is driving me nuts
it's still pinging on any kind of hill. i've checked for vacuum leaks and
found nothing. i've cleaned the mass air and still pinging. and now i replaced
the act sensor and just put on a reman. maf and it's still pinging, but it is
idling better and feels more responsive. or it's just in my head cause i feel
like crap because of the damn money i've spent for what seems like no
reason.
now i'm wondering if maybe i have a bad plug. it's not missing but maybe
the pinging has beat a hot spot into a plug.
i don't know, but i have no check engine light and it's running bitchen
except for when she see a hill.

Taking it to a good mechanic or the dealer may cost some bucks for a diagnosis and estimate but it can save a lot of frustration and $$$ in the long run.

Try running a higher grade of fuel, if that works, then the computer may need retune.
