You are in a cold area, and breaking in is all about heat cycling.
Aside from that, you need to tune the engine since the LSN is still set too rich.

Look over your manual, then lean it by no more than 1/8 of a turn. If you're expecting to go ripping around at flat out speed already, your engine won't last long.

Lean your low speed needle an 1/12 of a turn. No more than an 1/8. If it still doesn't want to idle, turn the idle screw up until it does. READ YOUR MANUAL. If you understand the manual and watched the dvd that came with your truck, the first response to your question would have been very easy to understand.

is that clockwise or counter clockwise I'm turning the lsn

Clockwise. Lean=less fuel. So you close it some.
