Just picked up my Rebel GT from Mark Dodge (great experience, highly recommended with great pricing). Driving home from Louisiana to North Carolina. Any thoughts about new engine breakin? Is it still recommended to drive variable speeds, say between 65-80 mph?
Also, I just sold a '14 Ram with the 5.7, and the 5.7 on this Rebel is running a bit hotter - 220-222 degrees oil temp, and 208-210 degrees coolant temp. Those are both about 5-7 degrees higher than my 2014. Tranny is running a bit cooler though - 185 vs 199 for the old truck. This pretty typical? It's 85 degrees here with high humidity
