to the OP. does the 'knocking' only happen when you're accelerating or going uphill?

either you got a really bad tank of gas or there's oil in your intake. ingesting oil will promote dentonation. check the oil seperator.
the knocking is pretty much all time. it's a chugging type of knocking. even when sitting idle. i can hear it. cluck cluck cluck cluck.

2001 4.4 x5 with only 51k miles on it. mostly city.

i got the stp gas treatment, going to use that on my next fill up. i suspect bad gas, who knows. then i had a sludge post too...
