Then again - never had a single engine problem in 170k miles either ...

Now I hear a very little ping from my new 2005 Tundra as well. A lot less than the old 4'runner - but it's still there ... Guess it's just a Toyota engine kind of thing ... I had a Corolla with a little 4 banger that pinged as well ....

I'll try the mid-grade on my Tundra too - but I'm not optimistic ...
Thanks Chuck,
I'm actually eginning to thing it has something to do with my ECU (air to gas mixture), I think that learning ability has put a damper on my being able to stomp it as well. If it's not the ECU than I think I have some engine issues, but I don't think so.
