What Did You Do To Your 2ND GEN RAM Today?

AKA "break in" period. I usually start by going 5mph and come to a slow stop, 15mph-slow stop
25mph- so on and so forth to about 55-60 and do that a few times. What that does is run the pads and rotors through all heat cycles. Just don't Jam the breaks for the first 100 miles or so. Although you should never have to do that anyways, makes them last longer if you don't.

Basically, take it out and beat on your brakes a bit..... Run it up to 50, step as hard on the brakes as you can without locking up.
I never really bothered with this procedure after having it warp rotors on customer cars a couple times. If there is a good non-directional finish on the rotors, normal driving will suffice.
In all reality, I wonder if the procedure is just a hold-over from the days of asbestos brake pads......
If it were a race truck, I would actually consider doing it...... but, for a daily driver, in my opinion, it isn't really necessary.

I thought it was weird. I've unplugged my TPS and IAC at least 15 times since I've had the truck and I've also had the MAP and IAT (it's in the air cleaner now) unplugged a few times and never thrown a code but it did this time.
