I had the same issue with the LEDs in the DRL. After doing some research, I found that apparently there are voltage spikes in the DRL, which is why the regular bulbs burn out, and this has the same effect on LED bulbs which need constant voltage. This problem is common to GM trucks, as it seems that about every other GM I see driving around has one or both DRLs burned out.

I also found this http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/Back-Up-LED/White-LED/V-LEDS-HID-6K-WHITE-60-p5846251-1-2.html.
They claim that their LEDs have some special voltage circuits built in to prevent spikes. The reviews seem to be positive though, so its up to you.
