Break In

Just got my 2003 F350 CC, SWB, V10....Love it! I have two questions for FTE 1)is there a break in period (500 miles, vary RPMs, blah blah) and 2)how soon can thow on the torque tubes, intake and exhaust.

Just FYI, I am new to the 4x4 world but not the mod world. My previous ride was a 2001 Corvette Z06, which was modded nicely and ran like a scalded cat.

Great forum, good people....from all the posts I have read.

I would give it about 1000 miles of light to moderate driving. Change the oil, do your mods, and run like hell !
