ok just a few things.
1.)A little over full is ok, 3/4 of an inch is a little extreme.
2.) Too much is JUST AS BAD as not enough
3.) Never check the oil with the vehicle running, it is impossible to get an accurate reading
4.) And like everyone said be sure your on a fairly flat surface.
Just a tip, it may be easier to control how much oil comes out by just removing the filter, and draining the oil thats in there. It may take 2 or 3 times at doing this but that way you don't lose too much. Also if you check the oil level after removing AND replacing the filter, be sure to start up the truck to make sure that the oil circulates and you get a proper reading on the dipstick. just my .02

Oooo, now THERE is a great "first post" on the forums. Making disparaging remarks on a dead thread more than a year later???? Brilliant!!
I am tempted to just ban you, and call it a day. If this is any indication of your future here..... It most certainly is NOT going to be a long one.
