Bought truck new with 8 miles. I religiously change oil every 5k with M1 5w-20 and M1 filter. Don't have a catch can maybe that is in the future. I still have 30k miles on powertrain warranty might just bring it in.

Sadly I regret to inform that the last two days my tick is back with a little bit of cold start piston slap. This afternoon I took the wheels off and examined the manifolds and everything looks great no leaks. Once the engine runs for a min or two and warms up it hums like a bird.....that being...

I read that i can buy a stethoscope and put it on the block and hear the tick. If i don't hear the tick while using the stethoscope then i know it is a manifold leak.
The sounds is most noticeable after you start the engine cold and the RPM's come down after a minute or 2 at idle. At operating temperature i can barely hear it but it is still there.
