Default Advice for new owner

I just purchased a 2011 RAM 4x4 dually with the 6.7 Cummins. Any advice for a first time diesel owner? Are there any break-in procedures to follow, etc.?

Thanks for any assistance!

I was told to hook a trailer up between 1000-2000 miles and rip it for an hour or two. Believe it or not the truck seemed to run smoother after I did that.

That's pretty much all I did.

Just drive it and enjoy. I think the break-in that dealerships tell u abt is for the auto trans. But by the time u test drive it, drive it home, and take it out to show everyone that time period is over and u can put that thing to work. Congrats on the new rig.
