Go ahead and switch whenever you want. The "wait to switch" is a myth. The real reason some would recommend waiting is so you don't waste the money on synthetic for the shortest oil change interval of the truck's life: the break-in period.
I switched to Mobil1 about 4 or 5 oil changes ago and had my oil tested every change after. The results showed the sweet spot for my oil change interval, based on the way I drive (urban driving, lots of hills, little hwy) is 5000 miles. Switched to Penzoil Platinum and it stayed at 5K.
