Welcome, there have been a lot of posts about what to do with a new truck try a search and you should be able to find a ton of information on this. Some things will include engine break in, changing oil and other filters as well as checking the gear lube in the differential.

Check the gear lube in the differentials. The rear diff in mine was a quart low from the factory. Ask the tech to show you the bottle he uses to fill it with. The idiot that did mine at the stealer use regular gear lube. I made them drain it and refill with the syn. 75w-90 "Grape Juice".

I know what you feel like with your new truck. I bought mine on 7/3 and I am still smiling. I have never driven anything as much fun as this.


Enjoy!
