I installed two new front marker/signal lights (orange ones) that are LED and I am now getting the Lamp Out warning in my gauge cluster. Is this because of the LED bulbs? I also get sporadic signal indicators inside and the blink twice as fast as normal, yet the lights blink normally. Well the LEDs “flash” instead of “blink”... Do I need different LEDs or a different signal relay to fix this? Or something else?

You likely need resistors to fill the truck into thinking they are incandescent bulbs. I am having the same issue with LED front parking/turn signals, though they worked fine for a few days, now they are giving bulb out errors intermittently.
