Tried the search, didnt work. I am picking up my freshly geared and locked center section tomorrow. I know this is a dumb question, but what should I do to properly break in the gears. this is a DD and my wheeler so I want to get as much life as I can out of the gears(that is if I don't break the 5.29 pinion first).

Be fairly easy on the gears for the first 500 miles, try not to put all 500 miles on in one trip. Change gear oil after 500 miles.

Randy's ring and pinion has a good write up about how to properly break in gears.
