Break-In Period?

Can we load the bed ? With say 800 lb of cement bags .

You live in Texas, shouldn't you be over 1000 miles by now? ?

That's like three average Americans in 2024. I say "go for it!"

I'm going to be driving my truck from Granger to Ohio later this week. I wonder if I should manually change gears to force it other RPMs while on the freeway?

I would. I would no use cruise and keep boost to a minimum.

I can relate. Lived that life for 18 years. More traffic than mileage. ?

Received similar recommendations when I asked about a long break-in drive home.

Wonder why no hard braking?

Varying the rpms I get, non towing or drag racing sure, but why braking?

To allow the pads and rotors to bed into each other evenly. Even wear on both ensures more pad to rotor contact, at least that was how it was explained to me and it made sense.
