ticking while driving really slow.

I know about the tick at idle and i have that but it seems like its ticking alittle louder when im going really slow up to about 1.5k than i cant hear it.

Am i just being parinoid because i went off roading the other day and now im worried? I did go through water and mud probably over the 27 inch level.

Always check fluids for contamination, Do you have the Scuba Mod? Check the Diffs and Trans also. I notice after 2k on the Odometer and hard driving that so called ticking gets louder, I changed to synthetic lubes and a gas injector treatment and it seemed to quiet things down a bit.
