Hi All,

Thanks for posting my query into the correct thread - its been an interesting 9 pages of posts - much appreciated. I read all 9 pages, and even followed the link to MotoMan and read through his site (as reccomended).

Well - I now have my hands on my brand new FG II XR6T - and gee its awesome!

Importantly - I read the owners manual, and thought I might share with you what Ford reccommends regarding Running In.......and I think they actually give pretty sound advice.

My humble opinion - Ford advice is similar to what many posters reccomend. I paraphrase the Ford reccomendations as follows....

  • Don't flog it stupid
  • But Do - take it through its paces - driving at various speeds,
  • Dont labour the engine
  • Dont let it idle for excessive periods
  • (towing not reccomended initially - however this seems to be diff related - see below)

Steve
