The rear is blinking fast because the flasher is not seeing the load of the other lights.

You say "two day old". If you got the truck from a dealer, it should be under some kind of warranty still, even if not the factory anymore. Even if not, only two days, the dealer would likely fix it for you. For good relations if nothing else. If you bought it from a private party, that kinda sucks.

pull the bottom cover off the steering column and check the wiring harness. A few guys have had wire chafing issues, or the plug coming loose a little bit and not making a good connection. It should be fairly easy to see if either of these are your problem. If you can't find any problems by looking at the wiring you are probably going to have to take it to the shop (dealer or electrical). BTW this would most likely be covered under your 5 year 36000 mile warranty if you aren't over the miles.

I guess they are so out of style now, I just cannot see the point of fixing them.
