Break in for front gear sets after regearing.

[KarlVP]

What is the break in time for front gear sets?

I mean, most folks rarely to ever use their four wheel drive so it doesn't really equate.

I have trashed several front gear sets. Those however have been in an "always spinning" front differential. No real load applied to them.

What about a re-gear when they are only offroad or in a regular joe's automobile where they won't receive a break in. Just use?

How do these gearsets fare?

I just run it. I don't know never really worried about mine.

Just pull the rear driveline, and front drive the rig to break in the gears like you would for a rear diff....

if you have locking hubs, just run around town in 4hi with them unlocked. it wont load them, but it will help lap them in and heat them up

I just drove mine in 4wd to work a couple of days, worked fine.

Bummer.

I'll be getting the Dana 60 this time next year.

It's funny I'm allowed to say that now. From about January till October every time I said "Dana 60" in the presence of my wife I had to pay her a dollar.

on a street driven application they say 500 miles, change the fluid and your good. But being its a wheeler it prob. isnt going to see high speed. It would be a good idea to have a magnetic drain plug. I never did a break-in with my 529

Yes and yes.

With broken parts to boot.

I'm sure Randys Ring and Pinion has had enough of me.

I know they are Randy to replace parts and all, but Micah is gone and it ain't happening so well.
