YA had neighbors get pissed about running my sprint car around the block, Had a state patrol see me from the highway one time I was running parrallel with the freeway at about 60 mph at 1:00 in the morning on a friday nite (had to race on sat) just put a new engine in and needed to break in the cam. Ran that bad boy down the frontage road and back to the push truck and trailer at the other end of the 1/2 mile road drove right up on the trailer(tip deck) and was holding the engine at about 2000rpm when the staty got to me. Good thing he was a sprint car fan and a hot rodder himself and understood what I was doing or I would have gotten one hell of a ticket. That video is so dark, its like a scary movie just noise and a jerky camra but the sound is enuff to give you a crazy feeling, that sound of going up through the gears is cool

i have yet to.
all I do is run it "lightly" loaded and keep an eye on the water temps for 500 miles. give it an oil change and then put it into service.
now if the truck is needed immeadiately.........I send it out for a couple hours with one of our NASCAR drivers-in-training and tell him to drive it like he stole it. when it comes back in after a "few" hot laps, change the oil and put it back into service.
either way works on these motors. you don't baby them irregardless.

yup. I know a few big dog engineers @ Cummins of Colorado and have been around their drag machine in the pits, etc.. ALL of them state not only for that drag application, but in OTR Diesels, you don't baby it. In fact, it's suggested when new to hitch up to something big and heavy and flog it as soon as you can.
Case in point, my Dodge, I bought 1 day prior to a good friend of mine buying the identically loaded Dodge (only diff was exterior color) I immediately hitched up to 14k of trailer and ran all over the Rocky Mtns, whereas Ryan didn't. For the entire time I owned my truck it always got better mileage than his.
If Justin wants to break it in, go for it, I'm not judging him for it. Just agreeing, it's really not needed IMO

break in? It has a roller cam....
Impossible to see anything in the video, but is sounds like it revs quickly. Of course the first two gears of a zf5 go pretty fast.
good luck to NMB2, hopefully he hits his 400hp or whatever it takes to make him feel better.

Regardless of what happened before or the darkness of the video, I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt here, especially with Typ4's testimony about what's going on up there. I'm excited to hear more about it.

Kinda makes me want to dig into that damn trucks motor.
Oh yah , put this on me!!!
Actually I just spoke with him and they are going for another test run, Ken suggested to run it at low boost for a while to not over pressure the rings, as did HAstings. I can agree with that from using rings way over their design parameter.
I told him to watch the temps carefully , that is the most important in my book, and oil pressure obviously.
When I was working in Anchorage the diesel shop dyno operator ran any engine for 1 hour no or light load, when up to temp, 2 hours of low to full loads and everything in between, then 1/2 hr at full load. So that is kinda what I go by also.
