Drive normally for 50 miles
 






When I regeared Randy's Ring and Pinion told me to not put a heavy load on it ( hard acceleration or towing) for the first 500 miles. In addition they said that for the first 50 I should only drive for about 15 minutes then pull over to allow the gears to cool down. wait 15-20 min and drive for another 15. I followed their advice and have had no concerns.
 






anybody have a rear end go out on them because of not breaking in properly
