oil change question...
so i changed my oil yesterday and being the bonehead that I am I only checked the oil level while my truck was cold (just after putting in the new oil). So I get home today after doing some running around and check the oil level just make sure it is ok. This time the oil is warm and it is about 1/8-3/16 of an inch over the Full line. Should I crawl under my truck and drain a little bit out or is it ok to leave it?

Did you check the oil right after you turned the engine off? If so, that would read a little inaccurate also. You should wait a couple of minutes after you turn it off to let most of the oil drain back down into the drain pan.
