Ours has the ticking, after warming up it less noisy. Took it to a mechanic and he indicated it was exhaust manifold leaking and the 2004 was notorious for that and always the same side (passenger). If this is it just ignore it!
This is what mine was as well, only I used the ticking as an excuse to put on long tubes and full 2.5" stainless duals on it with magnaflow cats and magnaflow mufflers. Needed to also get custom tunes to ensure it didn't throw codes but man did it sound fantastic. I still miss that truck.
