S-10 Making Ticking Noise

When I start the truck in the morning it makes a load ticking sound. But as soon as it warms up it stops. ( Exhaust leak? )or could this be a lifter.

Once the truck is warmed up, it will not make the sound all day. But when I start it up the next morning the sound is back.

I have the same problem. Mine is a 2000. If anything I think that the noise on mine is more common in the morning when the steering wheel is not straight - that is when i start to turn - powersteering ??.

i have had the same problem out of my 96 and 99 both 2.2 this is a coomon problem after reasearching it on alldata at my shop found a tsb about piston noise and a fix if you are willing to spend the money, the tsb also states that no damage will happen from leaving it the way it is
