when i get the RPMs up like 3 -4000 like accelerating on up a hill or on the interstate it beggins to ticks heavy until i shift or let off the throttle. it dont last long but its pretty loud. the motor ticks a little all the time but it gets really bad under those conditions. so.... pinging or valve ticking?

155k on it. no leaks, no nothing. i got this truck from a 74 year old man that bought it brand new in 2000.
