There is a lot of guys that believe those "fix-it in a can's" will actually fix issues. Look at it this way... it is just like when you get hurt, what does the doctor OR your mother do first? They give you pain killers... Right? This is what those "fix-it in a can's" are for, to fix the issue quickly and inexpensively. BUT, it is not a long term fix and the issue is still there and needs attention. The longer you go without fixing it, the more you will pay down the road.
Tell us this?
- Is the tick at start up and then fades away as the engine heats up?
- Does the tick get louder as it heats up?
- Is it constant regardless of temp and gets louder with RPM's?
- Can you tell where the tick is coming from when standing over the engine?
There are a few more troubleshooting questions, but these are the most common without looking at the truck.
Good Luck

I remember smoke b gone, supposedly seals up worn rings on the piston.....there's no replacing metal in the cylinder on an old engine without an overhaul or new block. Thick oil just to slow the problem, but not fixed.
