Maybe gas isn't what it used to be?
Maybe your cooling system isn't what it used to be and the engine is running 
a little warmer that it used to?

Our 93 Dakota 3.9 is supposed to run fine on 87 - which it did for the
longest time.  As time went by it did just fine as long as you're not under
a heavier than normal load.  But get on it and it really starts pinging.
Started running 91 in it and it does great under any and all conditions.
Maybe it's carboned up?
