Back up lights stay on when driving the truck and even when it's parked. I removed the bulbs for now.

Its either your park and neutral switch is shorted out or a problem in the back up light circuit in the body control module. Please go over the reverse light wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes
