Sir, you are dead wrong. The manual clearly states the two break-in periods in the manual in the towing section. Its not an engine break-in. its for the trans and running gears.
I said the first 500 non-towing miles. I know there is some towing break in, and I did not disagree on that part. But to be complete, here is the towing break in from the manual. And it does mention more than the trans and running gears:
page 223 of the manual.
Which is exactly what I posted above. Not sure what your point is here? Are you saying there is some MPH restriction on the first 500 of non-towing miles on a Ram Cummins? If so, please show me where it says that.
The manual states not to use WOT in the first 500 miles. I thought i read somewhere not to exceed 55 MPH, but it could have been for the gas. I checking the manual now.
I have seen many with that, including mine.
Actually, it does not say that in the diesel section. Probably a wise plan, but Ram does not say anything about it for the first 500 miles. I've read some debate about if the first 500 miles of towing restrictions are really for the gas truck too. But that's for another day.
My apologies, you are correct. The manual used to state no WOT the first 500 miles and not to exceed 50 MPH while towing for the first 500 miles. Both of these have always been in question because the manual also states that heavy loads assist in the final finishing of the Cummins and could take up to 6k miles. The manual now only lists the tow condition (5/22). I know my truck was HP and Torque limited until it got 500 - 600 miles on it. The truck changed again after 500 tow miles. It stopped using so much DEF and MPG increased.
No problems, this stuff changes over time. Like the new oil requirements for the newer 6.7 Cummins. Tough to keep up on all of it.
The Aisin trans service intervals changed as well. We ended up taking back roads the first 500 miles to stay off the interstate. It was grueling to say the least.
i sat like that for 3 months
I would be inclined to ask them where they sent it!
Got confirmation it’s on a train heading to port Allen
No, build date 9/27, ship day 12/26.. only 3 months later. But not as long as some
Which tank did you get? I am looking at S&B. I heard that it screws up all the system tracking MPG, distance to empty, etc. have you found that to be true?
Sorry for the delayed reply.
Not yet. Putting them on today.
Curious on how well the caps fit
