New diff assembly......any break-in required??
That's it just wondering about proper break-in on a new diff assembly.
Have heard (for other vehicles) opinions from nothing at all required to Heat cycle first time driving to X number of miles gentle......blah blah blah....FSM doesn't say anything but I'd rather be safe than short lived or noisy.
Going on an '89 TII with 1000 miles on rebuilt engine (wasn't that hard to do myself )
Thanks all,
Zub

I would go gingerly for the first 50-100 miles just like if you were braking in brake pads, but I have never heard of an actual requirement to do so.

Thanks for the reply's I'm still breaking in motor up to 1500 so I'll go easy for another 500.
Hadn't thought of the fluid swap and will add that to my to do at 1500 mile list.
Thanks again,
Zub
