Default electronic flasher for our trucks?

I have swapped all my lights to LEDs (front and rear) and I'm having issue with the turn signals (standard "they blink way too fast" issue). I would just use a no -load flasher but the problem I see is that the new trucks don't use a "standard old flasher". Its a big, 10 pin, flasher unit and I have no clue where to come up with something to replace it with. I had thought about getting another unit, trying to remove the mechanical "flasher unit" part, and solder a connector to work with a standard no-load but I'm not sure if that will even work.

Anyone have an idea? I really don't want to go soldering load resistors all over the truck and would love to get rid of the "click click click" at the same time.

Go to either -
www.superbrightleds.com
www.autolumination.com

They have everything you would need to do anything with lights. I just ordered all blue LED lights for the interior of my truck. They also sell the relays for the flashers so they won't go super fast.

thanks, but that still leaves me in the same "place".....load resistors.....

as I said I'm trying to figure out how to actually swap the factory flasher (it isn't the "standard" old 3 pin/can type)....why GM had to change from the 50+ year old design turn signal system that worked perfectly, I have no clue....

If you switch out the relays in the fuse box under the hood with the ones from the websites you shouldn't need any load resistors.

I'm sorry those are the flashers. But with those plugged in you should not need the load resistors.
