Not sure if it’s necessarily a problem but I have 8xx miles on my 6.2 boss and ever since I got it I realized on cold starts for like a second maybe a second and a half I hear an knocking/marble/ticking sound. I can hear it from inside my house sometimes with the window open. It goes away immediately and dosent do it on a warm start. Is this piston slap? Injectors? Anyone else hear this?

During start up after length cool down, you hear a braaap for about less than a second. This could be your knock sensor which is perfectly fine. you have a sensor that listens to the engine and adjust air and fuel mixture to proper level due to cold weather long sitting Etc. If is persist a lot and under warranty, have dealership maintenance section hear it and go from there. I don't think its your lifters due to quickly goes away.
