Also, I forgot to add, if your truck has lower miles, I'd recommend swapping to full synthetic oil in the motor.

I would swap to full synthetic. I use 5-30 Mobil 1, you might get a tick when starting, so you might want to use something else.
On my first change I let it go about 2,500 miles and change it again to clean the crap out. Then you can go as long as you want (up to 8k) depending how you drive. I plan to check every 1k past 3k though. If the oil is dirty, I'll change it.
It will help the motor alot and clean some of the crap out on the inside, you might get a leak from it cleaning sludge from the gaskets, you might not.
Good luck.
