change the engine oil asap as the engine is new and particles are more prevalent. maybe again at 5k and then do the diff fluid which is also easy

If you avoided doing something in the beginning (first bit) then how can it be the same from day one?


JMHO
No expertise implied or expressed.

Haha I guess your right on that statement. What I ment is I would do hard pulls but not power shift lol.

It's akin to audiophiles thinking you need test tones and such to break in the rubber surround on a speaker.

To a low point its ridiculous.

You have zero evidence otherwise also.

As for speakers, so completely wrong!!!

As a guitar player for over 40 years, I can tell you that speakers absolutely break in and the sound changes, this is an absolute fact! BTW the sound of tubes changes over time as well, just sayin.......

Break in or not, it's your car, do as you please. I prefer to follow the break in even if it does absolutely nothing, folks are making sound like if you DO break it in your wasting your time and potentially hurting something. What????

Personal choice, I make mine, you make yours, simple. Some of these threads just crack me up......

Assuming 4.0L motor? I have a 22 yr old Jeep that I bought new with 132K miles on it that I believe will still be running long after I am 😀

Tubes are good for like three minutes, right?

I know that my Boogie amps always sound great no matter how old the tubes are, but there's definitely more 'snap' when they're brand new.
