Picked up the new truck today.
We left the dealer in Greeley, Co at noon and drove 409 miles today. We are 3 miles short of Utah. Talk about long legs this thing really strenches them out. Fuel fill is not as good as the old 2001. ...

Now I have read about adding fuel filters, is this correct, and will it effect warranty.
also when should I do 1st oil change
Fuel filters should be good for the first 15,000 miles; there's a gauge showing fuel filter life, and it'll remind you when they need changing. (assuming Cummins diesel here).
You should not need to add, as there are already two filters. One above the rear axle under the box, and second in engine compartment.
Oil change, your ideas probably good as the next. I had mine first changed at 3,200 some odd miles as I was NOT going to go the 15,000 miles on factory oil in a new engine. Changed again at 9,000 and still running that oil now. 12,000 some odd miles on vehicle.
