a length of vinyl tubing held to one ear, use the other end to poke around near suspected areas....a leak will be obvious.

Start the truck and then hold it under water rotate it slowly watching for bubbles coming from the exhaust. No wait thats an inner tube never mind. I shouldn't post on 2 hours sleep. hahaha

I'll add what Mutant Pony said.
Have a friend try to plug the tailpipe with a rag while you listen iunder the truck
Even a small leak becomes real obvious
