1992 Dakota with the 5.2 liter.I have the following modifications JBA headers Bassani Exhaust, march pulleys K&N FIPK kit when running with the stock computer If I run with regular gas it pings when it first goes into overdrive. once up to highway speed it quits.It won't do it at all if I run the the more expensive premium.Is there a detotnation sensor on these trucks if so where is it? I have read on this site that autolite plugs also will help with this. Any suggetions would be appreciated Thanks.

Assuming this is something new, My money says you developed a vacumn leak. could be as simple as a bad or disconnected hose to the cover gasket on the bottom side of your intake. 02 Senser is another posibility. Check for codes.

So many problems .... So little time

I don't know about yours, but my owner's manuel says to use premium gas in my 01' Durango R/T. If I use 87 octane it pings. When I use premium it doesn't. Curiously, my 99' Dak R/T can use 87 with no pinging at all. Some of it also may just be cheap gas. I notice that if I buy gas at one particular independant station run by towel heads it pings worse than gas from name brand stations like Chevron, Texaco, or Mobil.

Magnums do not have a detonation sensor. If they did, they'd lose all that service center revenue. Can't have that.
Get your intake belly pan gasket replaced.
