Re: Engine Break-in
When I bought my Ram in '01, I specificly asked the service guys about break-in. The '86 Chevy PU I had before, GM recommended driving the first 500 miles on the freeway at a constant 45-50 mph. Anyway, the Dodge boys just said drive it normally. So I did. No problems yet. I would think that you would want to gently wear the motor and tranny in for a little bit before subjecting it to "hard acceleration and deceleration", though.
