A hissing noise sounds like there is pressure letting off when you turn the truck off. I would replace the radiator cap and see if that does not get rid of it as they lose their ability to hold pressure, which goes up when you turn the truck off, and will lose pressure whcich can eventually lead to overheating.
I cannot think of anything off hand that would sound as if it were coming from the intake tract.
