Question STARTUP NOISE

I am experiencing a loud pop/boom on startup after the truck sits overnight. When you start the truck it will idle for about a second and then, it is like a loud pressure release and then everything is fine. It only does that after it has sit overnight; also the longer you let it sit the louder the noise. I went a week before starting her and it was real loud. It sort of sounds like a flapper sticking and when there is enough pressure it blows it open loudly. Does anyone have an idea what it could be? Should I take her to the dealer?

Somebody help fordsales out, after a week of vacation he's gone mad!
Anyway I get a clunk when it sits overnight from my a/c compressor. I think that's what you are hearing. I had mine looked at last year and they said to turn it off when you shut it down. They also said ( this is from the invoice)"Too much oil in AC system evac AC remove aculator an drain all oil out of system add 4oz AC oil recharge system" misspellings and all.....it still does it.

Mine did it also and I thought it was the a/c or a vent flap opening, so I started shutting off the a/c and vents when I turned the truck off and no more loud bang at startup.
