Lifters.

Either put more oil, bleed them, or get new ones.

Search.

Pull off valve cover.

Pour gracious amounts of oil/Lucas.

i ve seen this before, ok this will sound hella crazy and stuff but this happen to my friends gf after her drift session and we all though it needed oil but what he did (he is a mechanic) was he kept reving it for like 20 secs and eventually the ticking stopped.. not unless one of the components thats near the timing chain is messed up

these truck engines are odd

Hard to hear properly in your videos, but is it getting louder as you give it some gas? Can you give it gas while cruising at speed (go from cruise throttle, to full throttle for example), and notice it get very loud right away? If so- it might be as simple as an exhaust gasket. Otherwise Id be like to agree with the others before me about it being a lifter.
