Hello. I have a couple of questions here. One, has any custom type of work been done to this truck? Has it been "upgraded" to LED lighting or anything like that? If so, that will cause all sorts of funny flashing issues until the right flasher relay is purchased and installed, and sometimes other wiring work needs to be done, depending on the kit. Doing this type of work could explain the issues you're having. Frankly, the easiest way to fix it would be to go back to stock and start over.
But, if no custom upgrades have been done, then we're probably looking at a bad switch or flasher module. You say you purchased it, but have you installed it yet? Either way, let's make sure you got the right one. Because there are a few possibilities depending on various options and such. So, do you have a link to the one you bought, or a picture showing the part number so I can look it up?
If this checks out, then we need to look at scanning for potential trouble codes from the Body Control Module. You'll need a decent OBD2 Scanner that can read U codes. The OBD2 port is on the driver's side, under the dashboard, near the parking brake pedal. Just plug the scanner in, turn the key on, and follow the prompts to see what trouble codes (if any) come up.
Here's our guide:

Regardless of if your check engine light is on right now, there could be Body Control Module codes stored, so go ahead and get it scanned. If you don't have a scanner, your local auto parts shop does.
Let me know what you come up with.
