I've got a 97 dodge ram 1500 and I have led tailights and factory headlights, my blinkers are super slow so I'm looking for a flasher that will fix it. Where can I find one?

I had a similar issue a while ago with my LED tail lights and installed an electronic flasher from Rock Auto.com. In addition, I pull trailers with LED lights, too. The new flasher helped a lot.
Sure it's not just the old one getting tired? Do you have any LED bulbs in the brake/turn signals?
I'm not sure if that could be the problem or not. My headlight turn signals are just the regular type of bulbs and my tailights and tailight turn signals are both LED.
Those old relays are bi-metal type, which means there are two metal strips that heat up when current flows through them, they bend and circuit opens (light goes out). Being bi-metal, one bends more and the other resists bending, so when the circuit opens, they cool down and strips bend back to close the circuit, and cycle starts again.
Now, when filaments are replaced with leds, there's not enough load to heat the bi-metal strips as fast they used to, hence the slow blinking.
