What is the best way to locate this ticking/tapping sound?

I have layed under the truck while its idling and the noise is pretty loud from underneath the truck. Would anything make a ticking noise from the bottom end of the motor?
When I was able to hear mine "ticking" inside the house, it was a rod bearing..
I think if you can hear it 100 feet away, you've graduated from "tick", to "knock".
Hope it works out for you...
