The knocking noise could be caused by numerous things, such as balljoints, pitman arm, idler arm, shocks and other from suspension components. Just take it to a shop and have them take a look at your truck. Don't do my mistake, I didn't do that and I had to replace all of the above items excepts the shocks. And that will be replaced soon.

Do you mean a knocking noise under the hood? Like from the engine (almost like a loud ticking)...

like a knocking or rattle noise.. its not loud. and it only does it when I turn it off. and its only 3 knocks or rattles that you hear. in the front motor area so it sounds.
