I was just reading through the install manual for the terraflex front I had installed about a month ago when they referred the jeep for me. It says at 500 miles they suggest
(New gear sets and bearings need me to break in. Proper gear break in procedures should be followed to help ensure years of quiet, trouble free opera on.
Do not go over 60 mph for the rst 100 miles or so. A er the rst 20 miles, stop and let the di eren al cool before driving again. This cycle should be repeated a few mes. Avoid towing or heavy use for the rst 500 miles. When towing a heavy load for the rst me, the same 20 mile drive/cool cycle should be followed. Change the oil a er 500 miles to remove any metal par cles from the ini al break in. This is an excellent me to inspect the gear set to catch any poten al problems early on.)
When they say change the oil do you all think they mean all the oil in the axle? And how would you check the gears without pulling the front of the axle off. Seems extreme for a checkup if all is driving smoothly, but maybe this kind of thing is standard?
