What would cause engine pinging in a 2006 silverado with only 27k miles?

It is probably spark knock from using a low octane gas. Try using a higher octane gas for awhile and see if it goes away. If it does then that is the problem. It will not hurt anything but it can be annoying. Lower octane gas burns faster and sometimes causes a pinging sound while accelerating. Some people say there valves are rattling but that is not the case.

Your 2005 Chevy Silverado check engine light is on - 35000 miles - I do not have a dealer on this island - What is the usual cause - I have checked the fuel cap?
It means that the computer has detected a fault in the emissions system. There is no usual cause. The ECU willl need to be scanned with an OBD2 scan tool.
What can you do to stop engine knock in Saturn 2001?
That depends on the cause of the knock. Many people are incapable of discerning the difference between ignition pinging, a true "knock", and lifter noise. Lifter clatter can only be adjusted by a machine shop. If it's a ROD knock, that's only caused by too much clearance between the rod bearing and the crankshaft. In that case, the only option is to rebuild the engine. Same with main bearings, too much clearance between the main bearing and the crankshaft will cause a deeper knocking sound, but the cause, AND REPAIR, is much the same. However, it is possible to SOMETIMES use an oil with a higher viscosity to squeeze a few more miles out of an engine. That only works if the engine hasn't worn too badly. Another cause of engine "knocking" is when the spark fires too early. The "knock sensor" detects cylinder pinging and sends a signal to the computer, which then retards the spark making the pinging go away. The idea is that the computer keeps the spark timing as far advanced as is possible without introducing cylinder pinging. Doing that can significantly increase fuel economy. It's called a knock sensor, even though we typically call early ignition "pinging". The computer should be able to determine if the knock sensor has failed. A computer diagnostic code scan will give you a good idea if any of the electronic components have failed.
