If you think it's not your ABS acting up, it could be your U joint needing to be replaced. The needle bearings in the U joints my be dried out and is binding at low speeds and will need to be replaced with new ones. Not a hard job to do, but if your u joints have never been replaced before. Have a shop replace the original OEM u joints, there glued in place and your going to need a blow torch to melt off the old glue to get the end caps off the drive shaft to replace the U joints.
Good luck and keep us all posted on why your Sierra is making the ticking noise.
