Default Slight ticking during acceleration

2017 that has the usual rattling when cold as many others threads show but this one I just noticed.

It's 2wd 3.5 so when accelerating, I can hear a tick that comes and goes only under load. Sounds like it's coming from under the truck but can't really pin point when driving. I have to take it for roll pin recall so I'm definitely going to bring it up but wasn't sure if others have this. Pretty vague I know. If googling, I million diff causes of such noises but strange to hear it on a newer truck. No lose of power

Did you ever figure out what was causing your ticking?

My truck is a bit noisy on a cold start, but doesn't sounds like cam phasers or anything like that and quiets down after about 30 seconds. That being said, I've got this ticking under acceleration that I'm not quite sure about. Sounds like it's almost coming from right behind/below the dash, which leads me to believe turbo wastegate ? It could also be described as a loud valvetrain noise possibly, which could mean it HPFP noise? My dealer can't get me in until the 25th, so hopefully it not too critical. Has been doing it since the day I picked my truck up, and I'm now at 600 miles on the odo.
