ok,so after letting the truck sit overnight I went to start it and it fired up with no prob but the brake lights and signal lights randomly blink 3 times after truck is shut off,it appears though that it didnt draw power from battery overnight could this be a electrical issue?and if so wouldnt it have killed the battery overnight As Im new to the site i aapreciate any form of help I could run with in troubleshooting this issue

Random guess: the wiring in the column has chaffed so bad that there is a connection between the signals and the ignition. Tapping the brakes grounds it out and brings the truck to a halt. Check to see if the wiring under the dash is rubbing or maybe some animal got in and chewed it.

That sounds like an aftermarket remote start system to me too.

Try finding out how to temporarily disable the remote start system and see if the trouble disappears.
