After truck warms up the engine starts a ticking/clicking type of sound, it speeds up as the gas peddle is pressed and gets a little louder. There is no effect on the performance of the power of the truck at all. We have torn the engine down on both top sides and have found absolutely nothing wrong, loose, worn,or broken! The exhaust components have been checked also and the EGR. We drove the truck with the belt off to see if it was any of the bearings on front components but still cannot find the problem. Even after checking the bottom side of the engine there is stil no visable evidence of anything broken.

Does it sound like a lifter?
