Valve's? Noticed ticking in the top end

I have been reading as many threads as I can find but can't seem to find an answer that won't cost a few thousand to check!
Also I CAN NOT get the engine to tick just sitting there. ONLY when driving! Makes me think it may be a normal noise. If I can slowly rev the motor up to 3000rpm and no ticking, probably not a engine problem. I get in the truck, put it in drive and slowly take off.... ticking. Sounds like a gas engine that's low on oil, like valves ticking. If I give her some gas, the ticking stops. Back to mellow driving, tick tick tick tick. Seems like lots of people have similar issues. Other then replacing all the injectors or all the valves, any easy fix's I could try?
Thanks

My 5.9 2007 has the same noise (makes me nervous). This is my first diesel and it sounds like "spark knock" on a gas engine. Mine only does it when on the throttle very lightly. It dosent do it at idle or under hard acceleration. I am at 90K miles and getting 18 MPG so I dont think there could be much wrong.
