Which light are you talking about? One of the ones outside of the truck or the one in the instrument cluster?

The flasher will cause them to come on but not flash back off. The don't draw enough current to make it trip.

ok, what should I do?

Get a new flasher that is for LEDs. They are usually a clear plastic with the same connection. Your local parts store should know what you need if you tell them you installed LED lights. I think the flasher is a solidstate flasher, it has a chip to do the flashing instead of points.

It looks like this. but as long as it has the same connection, it should plug in like the old part.
