I am running atf. Pull the pump and start the truck back up. See if it still makes noise. Very simple to do and is guaranteed to verify if its your pump or something else
Will do thanks for the reply
this is my issue. i put the motor back in after doing the cylinder head and it was running incredibly quiet. then i realized i hadn't put power steering fluid in, so it was running dry. as soon as i put the fluid in the load ticking started. there was a small chip in the power steering gear.
my question is am i doing any damage driving the truck until i can replace the gear? which i hope to do in a week and possibly after a trip up to payson so less than 500 miles during the 2 weeks.

Mine is making the same knock. Thought for sure it was a rod. But I can hear it in the pump to. Turning the wheels and at lock the noise is definitely quieter if not gone.
My timing cover is leaking on the passenger side just below the head though and so looks like I’ll be pulling it off. Can both gears be replaced and where can they be bought new?

I’ll answer my own question for future guys... I did drive up to Payson from Scottsdale and it did a lot better have the head was serviced by the machine shop. I replaced the gear and the noise is gone. I probably drove more than 500 miles before I could replace the chipped gear. So In my case I was able to drive with the chipped gear with no issues while it was in and after I replaced it.

Oem appears to be readily available for about $130-140. Toyotapartsdeal.com usually works for me. Flintknapper nailed the part number and fast!
