Well it doesn't always happen, if I drive my truck Calmly like a normal person it won't sound like that, it seems as if I accelerate and run my truck it'll start the clicking and seems to interfere with the way my exhaust sounds. Idk guys I'm having trouble figuring this out.

That sounds like a simple exhaust leak - either at the manifold/head or manifold to exhaust pipe.


Start the engine and, while it is still cool, feel around in the areas mentioned above. You should feel a pulsating flow of exhaust gas when you locate the leak.

Or you can pour some marvel mystery oil down the throttle and, with the engine running, watch for white smoke leaking out of the exhaust system.
