If it is a knocking noise you may have just ruined a rod bearing. If tapping sound you may have air in a litter or stuck or collapsed lifter.

Does it happen only when moving? If you let off the gas while moving, does the noise go away? Trying to differentiate motor/exhaust vs drivetrain. These trucks make lots of different noises as things start wearing, like carrier bearings, hubs, etc. Do you have 4wd or 2wd? What does noise sound like? mileage on truck? More details please. Also, do a search on this forum and you may find what you need. Good luck, let us know what you find.
