It sounds like you have no knowledge of the vehicle's past service history. If so, I would strongly suggest that you service all fluids especially the trans and transfer case oils. Your close enought to 100,000 that you should also change the differential fluids. And don't forget the fuel filters. This way you will know when the service schedules are due.

When you submit a sample to Blackstone, if you took the sample from a cold engine, be sure to tell them that on the form.
Your fuel dilution is a little high. Mine is usually .5% or lower.
Fuel dilution can be higher if you run a lot of short trips and don't get the engine hot very often.
Fuel dilution can also happen if work has been done to the engine. Since the truck is new to you, maybe some work was done before you bought it.
Of course, you could always have a leaky injector. But I would definitely change the oil and run another cycle before I got too worried about it.

My concern would be centered around some feedback I got on BITOG.
For the last few times, I had BOTH Polaris and Blackstone analyze my oil samples. Polaris ALWAYS has come back with quite a bit higher fuel dilution than Blackstone. The BITOG folks say that the Polaris analytical equipment is better for the fuel dilution analysis. So ......... it may be that your fuel dilution is even highr (hope not though).
