    F-250 SUPER DUTY

    in F-Series SuperDuty Forum

    Posted

    From the manual (pg6):

     

    BREAKING-IN YOUR VEHICLE

    Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive

    continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of

    new vehicle operation. Vary your speed frequently in order to give the

    moving parts a chance to break in.

    Drive your new vehicle at least 1,000 miles (1,600 km) before towing a

    trailer. For more detailed information about towing a trailer, refer to

    Trailer towing in the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter.

    Thank You I just read that in the manual online...

    Picked mine up in July 2010 and it broke in Sep 2010 with 3208 miles. Not that kind of break...

    I was told to put 1,000 mile on before pulling, but there is no recommended break in period. Call ford customer service, that ound like a question they should be able to find an answer to. You may want to send an email so you have a written record.

    Thanks for the insight. After further research the ford service website says not to tow until you have put 500 miles on the vehicle.

    I just ordered a F-250 SRW 6.2L and was wondering what the average break-in period is. I have always thought you should wait till your truck has 2000 miles on it before towing, But my dealer said there is no recommended break-in from ford. He told me drive it how you normally would, just don't use the cruise control for the first 500 miles. I am pretty couscous with these things... Anyone else heard different?

    10 post rule?

    Imagine how cool it would be if you could see your car being built on a web cam? It would be almost worth ordering the car just to get to see it, an others being built.

    I like that idea... Hurry and put that in place before my truck is done..
