Exactly, I ran out of places too look and people to ask so I thats when I decided to join and find out if I am going crazy with a simple fix or if this is the problem I am expecting it might be (something wrong with the MultiFunction Switch, short or fray).

So looks like it was corrosion on some connections at the LED. They looked pretty good when I took them off and only affected the one wire to the blinker. Very interested.
I am going to clean the rest off and make sure that they are all good an reseal them better than when the bumper was put on.
In the end if I don't have any issues I wont be complaining.

update
So I figured I owed you all an update.
After accepting defeat I brought my little monster in to get a look... Service was done, problem seemed fixed. At 3 weeks I thought i saw it again. But by 4 I clearly noticed it. Brought it back in this week ( week 6) and they had it for the whole week. Replaced bulbs, fixed some connections, and checked some additional places for any problems.
When I dropped my truck off my service guy saw the hyperflash. But no one could reproduce it after. They conducted the services I mentioned as precautions (great service) by Saturday when I picked my truck up I made it no more than 30 minutes before it happened again... We are both stumped...
Taking it in for a third time Tuesday

Well it's just me but I would have them put the stock one back on. Maybe there is an issue with the aftermarket one (some sort of grounding problem) or maybe they will find a wire or something they messed up when they switched the bumpers. It couldn't hurt and if it still does it, they might start looking at other things.

I will second this suggestion, little ***** in grease making contact with a copper dimples shield makes me think "bad connection". Next time it does it, fiddle with the switch assembly, see if it will speed up, slow down or flash normal.

Fortunately I have a better reason to remove the bumper, I bent it pulling out a chevy, love the z71, but it got badly stuck. Purely cosmetic, but I am going to one up the bumper I have. This will allow me to return everything to stock. Dealer said once I get it back to stop they will go to town, they suspect a lose connection in the most inopportune place.
