PCM "Break-In" Strategy ?

Do any of you folks who have been through 6.4L training have any info on whether there is a "Break-In" strategy. If so, what is it and is it based on engine hours or mileage ? It'd sure be a nice to know piece of info. Thanks.

Ron

I will add to the Break in Strategy question by asking how many miles / kilometres should I have on the 2008 6.4 Diesel before hooking up a 5th wheel which weighs 10600 pounds? The trip with the trailer will be 3000 miles/5000 kms starting in two weeks.
