I am sure it is!! the problem is called low speed abs brake activation. you need to hound your dealer, or try another dealer. this needs to be taken care of.

If the brakes are applied while the vehicle is traveling at a speed of greater than 6 km/h (3.7 mph) but less than 16 km/h (10 mph), the corrosion may cause an unwanted anti-lock brake system (ABS) activation"

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.

I was told by a local dealer that because of GMs restructuring that this recall was cancelled. Does anyone know that for a fact?... Ron
