I definitely like your styleDrive it like you stole it. Its under warranty, if something is going to fail, you want it to fail now. I've flogged every car I've ever owned. From Ford Exploders to NFGT's. Especially with what I am already seeing, I want it to fail fast if its going to fail, and get it fixed while I have warranty cover. These are recommendations, they aren't thal shall and thal shal not's.
Well...........here is a bit more info to understand before using that type of "break in" approach. The computer in your TRX is recording EVERYTHING, all your RPM and speed during break in and after. So, if you dont follow the break in and you have an issue, they could simply say NOPE: Owner abuse and you have ZERO warranty.Drive it like you stole it.

I don’t know where you pulled out of the hat but that is super helpful, Calich you’re awesome!
All the Hellcat/Redeye engines/superchargers are ran on an engine dyno for 40-45 minutes before they are shipped to the respective plants to be installed into a vehicle/sold as a crate/replacement engine.Dana’s new metal surfacing apparently takes care of the diff break ins.
The test track that is next to SHAP… I’m hearing… if they do the up and back it’s a soft drive. But some are getting their truck with quite some miles. I bet they did nascar laps testing the suspension and trans… lighting those cam lobes up….
I’m not quite sure being that these engines are not made with assembly lube, and someone said each long block is put on a engine dyno for run up…. The oil and comp rings may already be seated in. And the bearings fully heat cycled to fit…
It may be calling for an Italian tune up for break in.
Blower motors are a different breed (compared to NA motors). But to each his own. Have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I've driven every new car/truck I've ever owned, like I stole it right when I left the dealer.
Hasn't bit me in the ass once.
This one sure as fuck isn't going to be the exception.
^^^ This right here is why I ALWAYS read and follow the entire Owners Manual to all my vehicles.Well...........here is a bit more info to understand before using that type of "break in" approach.

Here is how I know.
Brand new 2019 Hellcat RE, I followed the break in to a T and then some, and documented all my oil changes using SRT oil and Mopar filters. I traded it on my TRX, and the dealership sold it the same day. The new owner took it to the track and ran the living shit out of it, until it went into reduced power due to overheating. Instead of doing a cool down, the guy turned it off. Pistons seized to the cylinders and locked the motor, motor is trash. The new owner takes it to the Dodge dealer saying it just stopped running. The techs plug it in to the computer and see the RPM, speed and overheat recorded in the history (performance pages). They call the owner and say he caused the damage and there is NO WARRANTY and the new engine will be $30,000, he replies its was (me) the prior owner who abused it. They tell him, NOPE we can see in the computer that the first owner broke it in properly and did not abuse the car. Just when you think, no one is watching..........someone IS watching. FYI.
Well, this will be my fourth Supercharged vehicle, so hopefully my lucks holds out!I've driven every new car/truck I've ever owned, like I stole it right when I left the dealer.
