Thanks for that. Didn't realize it was a big deal. The shop said I did not have to break in gears, cause I did ask.

The TruTrac is not noticeable on the road in 2 wheel drive and have not seen any real negatives the few times in 4 wheel drive on snow covered roads.

Ya, not many people do.  Most shops who specialize in ring and pinion installand repair will rrecommend it though.  The break in process actually hardens the gears and helps them mesh better.  Whole deal actually can help prevent breakage and will make them run quieter and cooler over the life of the gears.

My gear break in on my Dana 60 consisted of my jeep on jack stands in 4th at about 1800 rpm for about 6 hours it was kida entertaining watching a 38" tsl spin at 40 mph

skibum:
The gears need to heat up and cool down several times to harden the gears. I did not wheel mine or go over 50mph for 1000 miles

Harryhood:
I followed the break in period as suggested on ringpinion.com. 20 minute easy driving, Let it cool, go easy for another 500 miles, change the fluid and call it good.
