Hate to sound stupid here but... My left turn signal is blinking very fast. I always thought this meant too small of a bulb,however it is the same bulb that has been in there a long time. It just started one day. Could it be a ground problem?

Well I could be wrong but have you checked your turn signal bulbs? In my case when my truck did that I just had a burnt out bulb, so you might check that.

Ya. Look for a bulb not burning. Usually on these it will be the rear ones. Real common on these model trucks. Sometimes you can clean the contacts and make them start working.

Change the silver flasher on your fuse block. The lower one. That is a sign of them starting to go bad.

Bulbs are all fine, have not tried flasher yet. Something I forgot to add before,
When I turn on four ways the left side slows down to normal speed.
