Weird ticking noise?

I have a 1998 1500 with a 5.9L and it starts to make a ticking noise at around 40 mph and gets louder the more stress the engine is under(going up hills or accelerating faster) and sometimes the cylinder 8 will misfire but not every time and the code will go away a couple hours later. I have replaced spark plugs and wires as well as the distributor and cap. Any suggestions?

I have not replaced the plenum but the truck has a brand new motor and transmission with under 20,000 miles on it and the mechanic I taken it too said that there was no vacuum or gasket leaks but I checked the plenum thread and it basically has all the symptoms of it.
