Worried about the high Iron. I don't pull,but Adam did. I have only put 11K on it since I bought it this summer. What do you guys think? I'm liking the rest of the report though.

Do you have any additives in the oil? I have heard some can raise iron levels.

You really need to cut your filter open next time and take a look. If you just got the truck and started using good oil maybe the person before you didn't service it regularly and now the good oil is washing it out. Look in the filter for metal it tells the story, then sent you oil in.

I'm with the comments from blackstone on this right now - don't call it a problem, yet. One analysis isn't enough of a data point. Just keep driving, take care of it and run another UOA next change. When you start to see trends then you can make a better decision.
