Hi,
I wanted to verify breakin info for my truck. It's a SO Diesel 03, 3. 73 SureGrip, with a 47RE trans. I have read some conflicting info and what to verify the best way to make my truck last. I told my wife that this is the last truck we will ever need... So with that in mind...
1. Do I do any towing during the first 500 miles?
2. Do I keep a steady constant speed when I drive or should I vary my speeds? (I. e. when on the freeway, I usually cruise at 60 - 65 with the cruise control on. Good idea or bad? Should I drive at 70 for 10 minutes, then 75 for 10 minutes. ) I usually take
a very slow start after the light has turned green. Should I accelerate hard every few times?
3. Should I take the truck above 65 during the breakin period?
4. If #1 is no, then when should I start towing?
thanks,
Thomas Schwartz
