Yes I changed the oil
I was scared when I chaned the oil and they found metal shavings on top of the drain plug.Through research on this site and asking my uncle mechanic it was more likely normal.Some of these TA out of school mechanics should have known that it was normal and not scare me.It is doing Ok for a $7000 truck that came with all the flat bed equipment and a former Landstar Inway truck from the previous owner.Just this pass weekend I learned to change the Hub Seal myself.At Landstar I sometimes haul 2000ibs, and the last time I hauled something over 40k ibs was 3 months ago.What a relief from containers!

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Henboy, but it isn't normal to have metal shavings in the oil. You may have minute particles, but not metal shavings. Like Load It, I suggest getting an oil analysis. It isn't expensive and could point you to something that could be repaired now without spending too much money. If you wait too long to check it out, it could cost much more to repair. You may want to drop the pan and have the lower end inspected.

check out this link.I will get the oil analysis done.
