So I went ahead & ordered my new DMax/Allison last week.


This wil be my first diesel - what should I know about break-in? Stay under 65 for 1st 500 miles, varying RPM's, that sort of thing? Same as a gasser?

Congrats on your choosing THE truck. I took it easy on mine for a few hundred miles. The book says to keep it under 55 for the first several hundred miles, good luck...wait until you get your foot into it..then youll know you made the RIGHT CHIOICE ! bc

Read the manual that comes with the truck...twice. It has alot of good information about break-in and service. This forum is also a fantastic source of info. Good luck.
