Newbie here. Just purchased a new 2500HD LT 4X4 Crew Cab. What is the best way to break in a LLY? Bringing the truck home today.

Just don't tow until at least 500 miles. Jerry. Drillchart 07-11-2005, 04:26 PM If you use the search option, a lot of your questions regarding the Dmax will be answered including break in.

Arm aka108 07-14-2005, 11:57 PM Vary the speed and rpms for the 1st 500 miles or so and avoid the cruise control for that period. Whatever you do it won't break.. Enjoy you new vehicle and let us know how she does for you. BigShrimpah 07-15-2005, 12:18 AM I towed with mine within the first 1k miles, then I ran it hard at the drag strip after that. It worked for me and its consistently getting me 21mpg at 72ish mph | ||
