Sorry about your truck. That video sound exactly the way mine did. If I closed my eyes, I would have thought I was listening to my truck. I had 120,000 on my MDS 5.7. Had cam and lifters replaced after I bought it. Flat lobe #1. Had 2 sets (supposedly) of lifters on right bank replaced. Still ticks. Replaced (myself) all four rocker shafts. Tick all but gone. I have only put less than a mile on it, but will drive it to work tomorrow and see how good, or bad my mechanic skills are. Great trucks. Crappy engine/oil flow design. It defies logic!

I hope for you that it is an exhaust leak, but that sounds like valvetrain to me. Keep us posted.
