Couple issues w/ my truck today

Ok, got a couple concerns about my truck today to report.
#1) truck had been sitting since saturday night when it was 68* until this
morning at 5:40 am when it was 40*. When I cranked it up, there was a slight
tick, sounded like a lifter tap on a pushrod motor for about 8.5 seconds. I
haven't heard it before this, any other 4.7L's experience this?
#2) My charge circuit gauge/voltmeter always reads just to the right of 14
volts, or straight up on the gauge. This morning I had to drive about 160
miles and I noticed that the gauge seemed to be about 1/8th inch to the
right of where it usually sits, which made it look like it was showing about
15.5 or so volts. I got the truck out this afternoon for the return trip and
when I cranked it up it moved right back to where it usually sits. Any
ideas? I know it's probably just a fluke, but was just curious!
