no, just leave the truck running.

seriously, all vehicles do this. I ran a motor for 15 minutes with no oil when i was younger. It lasted another 20,000 miles before the suspension blew out of it. I ran a motorcycle for 12 miles before the motor froze up. I only know this because I spotted the oil trail the next day, and the trail ended 12 miles before. If it weren't for the fact that it was air and oil cooled, i could have gone further. The bike had no dummy light. Boy was i mad.

Good synthetic is suppose to have better pre-lub properties than conventional, FWIW.
