So true. I pulled a 6K boat with a Hemi once…oil temps got crazy high. My VW 3L diesel pulled it with no apparent strain…almost like no boat was attached.When you have a diesel.. jk
Correct, I personally would wait until you hit at minimum 500 miles. Break in period = patience, you can briefly WOT at highway speeds, that's a good thing, but hard launches under this type of mileage I would never. It has always worked out for me this way, allowing the motor to break in and allow the rings to seat well to allow the greatest compression possible. The drive train is more fragile, so handle with care and follow RAM rules. Then...after miles are met, unleash hell's fury AFTER you change your oil/filter. Change your trans/diff fluid around 1000-1500 miles, no more.So you are saying don’t hard launch it but do it 60-100 instead?
Or break faster!I've heard nitros makes it break in faster! You just need tremendous nutz
FYI, ZF has specific guidelines for fluid changes. Need to fill it, get it up to temp while going through gears, park, reverse, etc., and then top off again.Correct, I personally would wait until you hit at minimum 500 miles.
