In the newer pickup diesel engines,the oil does more than lubricate.On your Ford for example it changes the vanes on the turbo which controls the boost,it fires the injectors,through the high pressure oil pump and helps cool the engine parts. Thick dirty oil will affect how the truck starts and runs cold as well at higher rpms. If you started your truck and drove 150 miles at highway speeds,shut it off, and drove 150 miles back every day,you could stretch you oil changes. But if you are doing short trips, not getting up to temperature,idling in traffic,driving at slow speeds,5000 miles is about as far as I would stretch an oil change
