Proper Break-in procedures?
I'm picking up my first brand new truck in a few weeks and was curious if there's anything written about the proper break-in procedures. I'm sure the dealer will tell me a few things but I dont trust much of what they say these days. Will I be safe installing a Volant intake and a catback exhaust with less than 1000 miles on it?

from what i hear, the factory tests the motor out for a couple thousand miles...or maybe its just a thousand. so it should be good to go as soon as you get it. If it is rebuilt, i would wait a couple thousand so everything is settled properly.

No flat spots big enough on 4.0L airbox dude...No drop in filters available either besides K&N and TRD. The Volant is a sweet system. URD is supposedly releasing a true Cold Air Intake in the near future also but I don't want to sit around waiting for it. I don't want to hack up my stock box on a brand new truck anyways in case I ever need to return it to stock.

You should be fine driving it straight from the dealer. When I worked in rental at my toyota dealer, we took the cars straight from PDI (pre delivery inspection) to the customer. PDI usually added anywhere from 5-10 miles onto the ODO from 0.

Here is a good article on breaking in new engines of most any type. Definately worth the read. If I ever by something with a new engine, I think I'll use this procedure:
