My truck used to make a loud jet like sound at cold start as soon as you would touch the break it would stop. not making sound any more something to be worried about?

Exhaust back pressure valve. It is actually blocking airflow on the outlet of the turbo. Creates heat and warms up truck. Perfectly normal so don't worry just drive it.

If under the same cold conditions, it isn't doing what you describe, then yes, might want to look into it. It's your EBPV Exhaust back pressure valve.... It should be doing exactly what you described...
