I have a 2000 Sierra 2wd with 180,000miles 6 cylander, I changed the plugs, wires, and 2 oxygen sensors in it, and it lacks power and has a pinging noise when accelerating.

What did the code reader or scan tool gave you as for the OBD2 code/s

A misfire on a specific cylinder should point you to check the plugs/fuel injectors/compression/vacuum leaks/weak coil/sparkplug wire/s problem.

A random misfire is usually a lean fuel-lean misfire, open EGR valve, fuel pressure low and bad fuel.
