Low oil
Just checked my oil with the engine cold, and it's maybe 1/4" lower than the fill line. Hoping I didn't damage the engine, what do you guys think the chances are?

Check it again when its warm... standard procedure for these trucks is engine warmed up, turn off and let the oil drip down for 10 minutes.
