new lsd

[bryan28]

I ordered a genuine Mopar lsd from Moe's and will be having it installed in the near future. Should i run it a certain amount of miles and have the oil changed like a "break in period oil" or just leave it in until the normal change interval? I'm thinking most people who order it from the factory just run it until the normal interval change so I'm thinking i should do the same. What's your opinion?

I installed one from Moe's a few months ago along with gears, use a quality synthetic lube with the LSD additive in it (I bought Valvoline and haven't needed the bottle of additive yet). Timkin bearings are better than the originals IMO (bigger rollers) my factory pinion bearings were showing signs of over heating already @ 10,500 miles (pinion bearings also had more preload than I like). I have set up gears in most all differentials and the ZF is easier than most. I plan on changing the fluid after 25,000 to 30,000 miles (or if I hear weird noises before then).

It doesn't hurt.
