The presence of the yellow play-doh dielectric grease is an OEM thing for sure. I don't know anybody that buys that crap intentionally. The dielectric commonly available to the rest of us regular folk tends to be nearly clear, and much more greasy vs. play-doh consistency. You can leave it be; it's not hurting anything.
Absolutely 100% agreed on the middle socket (brake/turn/tail) on the rear lamp boards needing the CK (also referred to as SRCK) LED's. As far as whether those will work in the other socket, don't know, I've never tried and would hate to risk it. I ran some of the very first available LED's for these trucks way back when they came out and the guy wasn't aware of the wiring difference on the middle socket and the first set he sent me nearly caught on fire. From that day on I was very careful to only use the ones that belong in each socket.
For the hyperflash, you can get an LED style turn signal flasher (works to cure hyperflash sometimes, not always); or you can install load resistors.. pretty much always works. Or, you can hack your existing flasher, free and easy, and works fine. For this info you could read this entire thread or just skip to page four and scroll down to post #37, mine.. https://www.gmt400.com/threads/how-to-stop-led-fast-flash-info.5208/page-4
