Its a normal sound. That being said when I did my first cam swap I found where mine was coming from. Number 7 intake pushrod was gawled slightly on the bottom. Some trucks show it worse then others, also Diff oils will make it act up worse. The headers will make it louder also when ya toss them on.

dose it stop after the truck heats up
my mother in laws hemi ticks cause the exhaust manifold leaks at the block and it stops after the truck heats up

I have the dreaded tick also. I changed my oil the other day from 10-30 to 5-20 and it is a little more noticeable.

No exhaust leak on mine. It is louder when you first crank it and then it mellows out a little once the engine heats up.

I have heard it is normal and in the valvetrain. I have researched and read it is everything from an exhaust valve to the pushrods. I plan on ported heads as a future mod so i am not too worried about it.

Hmm... I'll have to pay attention, I do hear the manifolds ticking, but what I mainly hear right on start up sounds just like a lifter tapping, I wish these motors were as easy to tear into like old school lol

I think they are EASIER to tear into than the old school stuff. You don't even have to pull the intake off or remove the lifters to swap the cam.
