Ticking lifters in the 86-93 Mazda pickup trucks is very common, the design is just prone to it. Sometimes it is dirt or something clogging one of the small passageways in the rocker arm assembly, sometimes it is low oil pressure, sometimes it is just a bad lifter. Sometimes replacing the lifter will fix the problem other times it won't.
It is often recommended to remove the entire rocker arm assembly clean it well, run a needle or wire through the find passageways, replace any damage hydraulic lash adjusters then reinstall. See the attached link for more details.
