Sounds exactly like my truck, I cant stand it and mine just started doing it at around 60,000 miles. Its even worse when it is able to echo off of a street curb or the car next to me. I feel better now that maybe my problem isnt that serious but who knows.

I dont know guys it is pretty loud, I dont know the video really gives it justice but oh well. When I pay off my new tranny and stuff I want to do motor work on it, but I dont know if I should put a cammed lq4 in it or keep the 5.3 and cam that with some arp rod bolts too, then put a 150 shot on top of that? I dont know but i have a lot of time to think...lol

I'm going to put money on a sticky lifter or a plugged pushrod. If you're getting close to doing an oilchange anytime soon, add a quart of transmission fluid to your oil before your oil change and go drive around for 20 minutes on a hot motor and keep the RPM's moderate, around 2-3000 at all times and watching the oil pressure guage. After your time is up let it cool for 30 minutes, then repeat. Repeat maybe 4-5 times with good, long cool downs and stop if the lifter stop tapping. If by trial number 5 nothing is changed: Stop, change back to oil, consider replacing suspect lifter. Otherwise yank all pushrods out and inspect them for pluggage. Perhaps you have a rocker with insufficient oiling or needle bearings came out. Also, remember to roll all your pushrods on a piece of glass to see if any of them wobble. They should be perfect, not the slightest imperfection.

I just changed my oil so I wont try that isea for a while. But, when I get a chance I will pull the pushrods out and inspect them along with my rockers. I have never done taken my motor apart other than the fuel rails so are there any how to's on going about pulling them out?

take your coil packs off. theres one plug that plugs them to the harness and theres a few bolts. take off plug wires. unbolt valve covers. get a 8mm and unbolt the rockers then pull out the pushrods. its pretty simple.
