          no leaks and the tires are in good shape

            If the shocks are okay, check the control arm bushings or sway bar links. Put your hand on them and have someone create the sound (if it can be done when the car is not driving) and see if you can “feel” the noise.

            EDIT: Or get a large pry bar and move them with that.

              Could be worn or dry ball joints making the noise on ur truck.
