The car shows on TV take a new build and put it on a dyno. No break in and lots of money. A dyno test I recently watched was a new LS motor, straight from the shop the the dyno tuner. RPM's from idle to over 6k. 

I stick by, you get a good motor or a bad one. Roll of the dice.

They do it, they just don't show it.

Ever watch the roadkill bunch. I like the way they break in.

Comparing the methods of a high performance sports cars break in with a heavy duty pickup is not apples to apples. It’s apples to bananas. 
 

the high performance vehicles will never be “on the road” chugging along for 300k miles worked hard etc. it also has a completely different engine. 
 

I always take it easy on a new vehicle but that’s just me. People should do what they feel is best for their vehicle. 
 

The 6.6 gas oil change is probably the easiest one I’ve ever done. Took longer to refill it than to drop the oil and filter. 
 

I just did mine at 800. I was going to wait til 1,000 but just took it on a long trip so just did it first. She knocked down 17.6mpg with 6 ppl in it at 68-70 over 300+ miles. Very happy with that.
