it is your hydrolic lifter in your vaulve train, the lifter if bleeding off presure(oil leaking out) and causing your lifter(s) to knock when you start the truck. all motors will do this every now and then. even new ones do it. you may need new lifters if it becomes a serious problem and knocks really bad. you can also try switching to a lighter weight oil which means it will start better, but the lifters will bleed off faster causing the knock to happen more often, but it wont knock as long... i wouldnt worry about if for now
