ticking noise.

ok os i got home form work and my truck to me seemed to be makin a ticking noise. my neighbor came over and told me it might be an injector? i dont know if that sounds right? i thought maybe an wxhaust manifold gasket but i havent been running it hard enough to blow one and i always let my ruck warm up and cool down.any opinions?
