Heads were OE/reman or replacements? Who’s gaskets? Bolts or studs?
You have a pressure gauge installed,, is it over pressurizing the coooling system, puking coolant from the degas or out of spec pressures/temps on a hard pull? Sounds like on initial start, it maybe hydro locking a bit..

Brand New heads, race studs and gaskets not sure which brand. The gauge is for the fuel pump on a different problem that i had where when i was pulling a hill it would die. This knocking happens after its hot, its not as bad if the truck is cool. Could an injector be leaking when i turn off the truck? I will check and see if im low on coolant.
