Where does it sound like the hissing is coming from? Have you done any mods recently (intake, exhaust, etc.)?

usually a exhaust leak is a annoying ticking sound that gets louder when you hit the gas.

could be a broken stud on the exhaust manifold. Pretty common problem with your style truck. Just had mine fixed a few weeks ago.

Have you always had it, or is it just starting to come about?
