i chipped my truck with superchip 1704 at 900 miles, and sct at 2900 miles. the motor will hold up, its the drive train you want to break in, loosen it up, so to speak. this would be the reason some people dont tow with thier trucks right away. motor will handle it, but let the rear end settle for a few hundred miles. motor needs little if any break in, and trannys do not need to be broken in. thats my knowledge and opinion, like he said personal preference
