Break in Period

I am a first time Ram owner who just bought a 05' Hemi 1500 QC 4x4. How I should drive it during the break in period and for how long. Have only about 100 miles on it nad have never broken 60 mph or 3500 rpm.

No breakin period is required. Just drive it like you always will. Hope you enjoy your new Ram.

RE: Break in Period

Read the manual. It suggests you do a few wide open throttle runs to help the valves seat better. Don't keep it at constant RPM's for too long and ocasionally beat on it like it owed you money. After a few more hundred it should be good.
