(snipped info from DIck C. recommending to break it in properly)

(snipped info from Karl saying how he broke it in hard)

Karl - There's always exceptions. I've heard of folks who've jumped from
airplanes and their parachutes didn't open . . . and they survived 'cause
they fell in a snow bank or mud flat. And I may have saved my life by
going through a Stop sign once, rather than get crushed by a run-away
tractor-trailer. But I wouldn't recommend either on a daily basis. I will
also defend your right to break it in hard if you want! It's your truck!

See 'ya on the road. Look for "Life In The Slow Lane."
