On our 2000 Silverado 2500 the blinking can mean a misfiring cylinder or ours also does this from "extended" periods of high RPM operation, like when driving over 70 mph. I feel our truck is especially sensitive to this because the rear end has the 4.1 gear set, I have often wondered if a truck equiped with 3.73 ratio or 3.42 ratio would still do this.
