Check the front wheel bearings if your truck has 4wheel abs.

G.M.s do this all the time. Remove front wheel speed sensors and clean the mating surface of the sensor, without getting crap in the hole for the sensor. If you have a bunch of metal on the magnet when you remove the sensor it is time for wheel bearings. Good Luck. Also, clean off the magnet.
