Make sure oil changes are done on schedule and check the level frequently.

Might as well get a CB radio, a commercial driver's license, some mudflaps with chrome girlies and practice your best diner belch. :p
I agree with the others, the lifters are the likely culprit. No easy way out if that's the case unless you have either a lot of tools, parts and patience or a lot of money for a qualified shop to repair it.
Sorry to make light of the situation you're in, but it's a common occurence (see Amigo's reply) when these trucks are starved of clean oil.
