Just wondering what the protocol is with respect to breaking in the CTD and bombing it with a box of some type. I only have a tick over 1000miles on the clock. Should I wait?

I installed Edge EZ on mine the day after I bought it and at about 14000 i installed the TST and now I have 33000 with no problems

I waited as long as I could stand it, about 3000 miles. I think the deciding factor is "are you ready to be your own warranty station". Until you are ready for that, then I would leave it stock and enjoy. Any performance mod has the potential to void some or all of the vehicle warranty.

That said, this is my first diesel truck so I started with gauges(get a baseline for the truck), then air intake, then exhaust and then mild performance box, then medium performance box and tomorrow a fairly strong performance box. Transmission/TC upgrade is next and then I will look at turbo upgrade and injectors. It never seems to be enough. That's my story.

I am in the same boat. I have 7000 on mine now and I think I will wait untill I hit 10k. The only reason is I should be able to afford it by then!!! ha

One important thing I should mention here! My truck is a 03 S.O. Calif model which basically means it cant get out of its own way when stock.

No box.Was going to and decided best not.17k and change on mine.

Looks like I held out the longest. I had well over 30k on mine and over a year old before I took the plunge. I did put an exhaust system on with only 3000 on it though

Was it really that long? I would have thought it was less than 1000 minutes.

(I love your video's, John. Keep 'em coming )

I have 47,000 miles on mine with no mods and its a SO model! like the other guy said the SO model cant even get out of its own way! What the hells wrong with me???????

I think I had 600 miles on mine when the first, original TST went on. Blew the stock turbo that same day. It has been fun, yet expensive, ever since.

If you want your truck to last and care about your warranty, you should at least let the engine break in for about 10,000 miles first. Most things that are put together wrong at the factory will show up by then and you can get it repaired for free by your friendly Dodge dealer.
