07' 5.4 Cold-Start Tapping Noise

I have a tapping noise that only pops up during cold starts in the fall/winter. The noise usually is heard when the truck is being started for the first time in the morning or when it has been sitting a while. The noise is very audible as the truck is warming up, but goes away completely after it has been driven a few miles.

I use motorcraft 5W-20 and motorcraft filters. I understand all engines take time to circulate oil on cold starts but this noise seems excessive.

Anyone experienced similar problems with their 5.4s?

Thanks!
