never had any issues at all until recently noticing this slight ticking noise..

I was told it was lifters, and to put in Marvel Mystery Oil to fix this noise..

anybody have any other information on this?

I have the same truck and it ticked like a clock for years. Most mechanics said it was the lifters but it ended up being a loose spark plug. The guy said he removed it by hand.
