Ford Cold Weather Blues

Hi does anyone know what would cause a clicking sound when it is cold outside. When the temperature is -20 Celcius the truck makes a loud clicking sound upon acceleration. When the truck is at idle it goes away. When the truck warms up it goes away. Any thoughts on what this might be?

The engine makes a clicking sound? What engine do you have in your truck? What year?

After driving the truck today it is more of a rattling sound. Or something bouncing around on tin. Its very odd. Not a consistent rattling, only on acceleration and only when the weather is colder than -10 Celcius... Any thoughts.
