I get my truck back from the shop tomorrow with the Yukon 5.29s and Truetrack LSD installed! It's about time!

I've been reading up on how to properly break in gears and what not. This is what I've seen.

1) Drive 15-20 slow speed miles with no hard accel then let it completely cool.
2) Drive gently for the next 200 miles, preferably short trips.
3) At 500 miles, get the diff fluids changed again to be safe.

That's all? Anything else I need to be aware of for the gears? Is it safe to put in Synthetic gear at the 500 mile change? Necessary to do a 1000 mile fluid change?

How about the LSD? I haven't found a procedure to properly break that in, and it didn't ship with any information on it either. I have heard something about doing slow figure 8s to break in LSDs before but that was with sports cars.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Anyone?

 

Maybe you could ask the store you bought it from? I have TrueTracs in my truck and didn't do anything special to break them in. I would not recommend towing for a while.
