How was your rapidly-blinking LED tail lights problem solved?

Mine are the same way... the right one works fine and the left blinks fast. This leads me to believe that it is not an issue with the taillight, but rather the way the vehicle is responding to the lighter voltage.

Hopefully the new light will work for you, but from what I have heard, the problem seems to persist. I really hope the new flasher will take care of this once and for all.

Will -- Yeah, I don't know why I didn't try it yet, but I need to hook the left light up to the right harness and see if it works. If it DOES work on that side, then yeah, there's got to be a problem with the way the truck deals with the LEDs.

Is your truck an '09 also?

Anyone running LED tails on an '09 with NO problems??

Thanks!

When I got home today I hooked up the left light to the right harness -- and, fast-blink city. So, there's absolutely something wrong with the light. Dang.

Those lights are stubborn, I would say try and switch the tail light harnes with the brake light harness and see the reaction.....

Scroll down to the Electronic LED Flashers. I'm going to order one and give it a shot instead of the resistors.

The GMT900s don't have a flasher relay from what I've been told. Therefore you can't install an LED capapble flasher. You can go to chevy and have them program your setup to accomodate LEDs because they do ship their commercial flatbed trucks this way, ones that have no tailights so that LEDs can be accomodated.

Yeah they don't have a relay but something like I flasher module IIRC.
Their is one on Ebay and other online sites that are meant to handle LEDs but its very expensive (Like $100 or $200.
I do know their is some way to mod the OEM module to make it accomodate LEDs, just takes a Pioneer to find it out.
