Does it happen when you start the truck up in the morning for the first time (cold start) or when you've been driving for awhile on a restart (hot start)? The engines are known for exhaust bolts breaking and manifolds warping but they are also known for the lifter ticks as well.
Its one of two things exhaust manifold letting go or a the early symptoms of the hemi tick.
