Just for sheets and giggles:

2010 USA Standard Gear, New Gear Break-In:

All new gear sets require a break-in preiod to prevent overheating damage. Any over-loading or overheating will break down the gear oil, which will cause the ring and pinion to fail., This can be determined by inspection and will void the gears' warranty.

Please follow these guidelines to insure proper break-in.

o Avoid heavy acceleration during the break-in process.
o Drive the vehicle lightly for the first 15 to 20 miles and stop. Let the differential cool before proceeding.
o Avoid heavy acceleration for the first 100 miles.
o Drive the vehicle at least 500 miles before towing to retain the gears' warranty.
o When towing for the first time, drive for very short distances -less than 15 miles - with the full load and stop. Let the differential cool for about 20 minutes before proceeding. Repeat this procedure two more times -45 miles total - to fully break in the gears.
o Change the oil after the first 500 miles. This will remove any metal particles and phosphoric coating shed by the gear set during the gears' break-in period.

Right.... right... This is mostly lawyer talk.
