6.4L towing break in 50 mph vs 60 mph
First, a little background. I just got my new truck last Friday. I've broken my engine in properly for the first 300 miles and will have 500 miles on it by Wednesday. Ok, I cheated a little and had to...

Thank you all for your input. After consideration of your opinions and some research, I've decided that the most important thing to promote a good break-in is to vary speeds. That's what I'll do on the way up north. I highly doubt that 10 mph is going to break the truck, or even have any effect on it long term. If it does, no whining, but no more Rams.
I'll be travelling from Vancouver WA, to Olympia, then over to Elma. My wife will be pulling her first long tow with the horse trailer using my father-in-law's truck. I will be following her instead of taking the back roads. We want to minimize the time on the road for the horses since one of them is relatively new to trailers. Plus I want to be near her if something pops up. We have 2 way radios to communicate. The back roads would just tend to confuse her, even with GPS. She'll admit that she's a little directionally challenged.
In 2 weeks, I'll be heading to Leavenworth, WA for their spring food festival. I don't have to hurry then and will continue the break-in. After that trip, I should be good to go. Thanks again.
