Good idea on a short mileage oil change, that $40 or so for oil and filter will be cheap insurance.
Hey, if you're going to be here for a while, why not add your location in the upper right corner of your post... don't worry, we come over for a visit. Just nice to know where people are from.
Haven't run the truck since then, it's been crazy raining all weekend. Will use it today to pick up some lumber, so will report back.
One thing I did notice is that the OEM oil pressure gauge was reading higher than it normally does. It typically bounces between centered and just a bit high. Now it is a bit high to pretty high. I know it's not accurate, but wondered if maybe some of that oil/coolant mix was still in there and is harder to move than just oil.
Yes, do not use the factory gauge to troubleshoot. You can waste a lot of money and worry doing that.
