does anyone have the same problem when accelerating hard and hearing a sort of pinging noise from eihter the exhaust or engine. the sound is much louder when driving along side a building, makes it sound pretty junky. need answers only had truck for 1 week, thanks.

It's due to the exhaust manifold being made of I believe aluminum allowing excessive noise when accelerating.

Unfortunately, this is normal for this generation of 4runner. ------------ at 5/6/2004 9:15:23 AM

are you sure it's not the gasoline? Could it just be lo-octane ping?

I've always run my V6 Limited with Premium fuel and it still makes that noise. I'll eventually change the exhaust manifolds with aftermarket headers with a better exhaust flow design (the stock design is inefficient). If anyone knows about any mod-chip that will increase the power on the V6 motor, please post a message. thanx ------------ at 9/14/2004 7:23:59 AM
