It wouldn't have been a costly fix even if the warranty hadn't covered it.
If the truck will move without puking fluids, belching smoke, or making scary noises, I'd probably drive it to the nearest service.
I sincerely hope this is relatively minor problem for you, and you are back on the road quickly.
