[dmbrisket 51]

does any one know if there is a hd blinker relay for the 98 s 10 pu, i installed the clear tail lights, and as a result had to install different bulbs, they must take up more juce then stock bulbs because front and back flash but they flash quickly, and the quicker they flash the quicker ive gotta get arround to changen that good ol' blinker fluid (yes my gf beleved it)

Sounds like the bulbs you replaced them with were not the right kind.

You want to go to your local parts store and purchase an electronic flasher. They are usually smoky clear plastic and you will be able to see the components inside. They flash independently of the current draw and are used in semi's and trailer towing vehicles and will plug right in.

they said right on the package not for use in my vehical, but they are the only ones anywhere that i found that fit in, they draw too much current... about the electronic flasher, is it just one unit for both sides?? and about how much am i looken to spend??

I had to put a different flasher in my 91'. It was down by the fuses under the dash. it was a silver cylinder the one i replaced it with was twice as long.

Here is the picture of a Signal Stat #262. Not a good one but you can see what it is. It will plug right into where the existing one came from.

Dont know if you have the book for your truck but the relay on my '95 is behind the dash, meaning you have to take off part of the dash to get it out. Just make sure the new relay is for trailering and fits your truck.

Read the previous posts. The Signal Stat is an electronic flasher that is used in semi's. If that's not trailering than I don't know.

I am not in any way saying that you were wrong. I just know what I found at my local advance auto. Don't get to sensitive now.

I have a 97 with clear tails, Red LED tail lights i got at Auto Zone,
and i got a heavy duty flasher at Advance auto. the flasher was about 3 bucks after taxes. and its located behind the lighter plugs. I had the same problem w/ my flasher blowing until i got that one at Advance.
