    Trust me...
    You crank it up with a cold motor, loud tick/rattle sound/ starts getting quiet when truck starts warming up, dont hear it when motor is hot even after restarts....
    Post a video.

    Get a mechanics stethoscope and pinpoint the noise. Check around the timing cover.

    Its hard to tell from the video. It kinda sounds like an exhaust leak. It could be a loose spark plug also. Mine was ticking until it blew the plug out the head. If its not either of those, then Im gonna say timing chain. How many miles are on it?
