I have a valve tap that only lasts for about 30 seconds after the truck is started when cold. Then it goes away. Is this a sign of a bad oil pump? The oil and filter were just changed. The truck is a 2000 with a 5.3 liter engine and only has 84000 miles on it.

depending on what year and engine the truck has , there are issues with lifter bleed down , as long as the pressure is good you may want to investigate this further
