When I jump into my truck the other day I heard a clicking noise for maybe 4-5 seconds and it disapear suddenly. I don't hear this noise anymore during the day. It is bad ?. It is like the engine who is knocking or maybe the exhaust ? Or I making a big deal out of nothing.

yea these VG33 engines are kinda notorious for valve tap on cold starts. Mine does it too. The only advice ive seen on the internet is changing to a slightly different weight oil. but i cant remember if it was 5w30 or 10w30 i think it was one of those
