I was thinking maybe the oil journals are clogged up or something. There was a couple times in this trucks life that i pushed oil changes off to 5-6K miles but i think it was only 2 times.
Are you sure you don't just have noisy lifters? Now that it is cold your oil will be a little thicker and harder to pump through the engine for a few minutes. My suggestions would be change to synthetic oil, Mobil 1 5W30 is my personal choice and make sure you use a good oil filter, anything but fram!!!!! Good luck
