Greetings, friends!
Well, I got my TJ back from the shop yesterday after having 4.56 gears, True Tracks, chromoly axles & new front hubs installed & I started the break-in process with 75 or so slow, easy miles on back roads. I was told to drive it for an hour or so & then let it cool down. I’ve been checking the temps with an infrared thermometer & the highest reading I ever saw was 168 degrees. This is what I saw as a baseline temperature before the work was done. Is this normal? Is a higher temperature a part of the break-in process? Is something not right here or am I worried about nothing?
Thanks in advance for your help & replies.
