I'm not sure which you have but on the DTE no RPM's over 3,000, no lugging and no high power acceleration for 350 miles. And most of all, no dyno's!!!!
I basically did most of my driving on back roads so I was using the motor to pull the car and then hold it back as well so the gears would be loaded on both sides. I would think DTE's requirements would fit pretty much any differential.

Thats pretty much what I'm doing, but I think I'll try to do it for 500 miles. Thanks for the info.

When GM replaced the differential in my SRX, they dorve it for 50 miles at 50 mph or under and then let it cool over night,
I was then restricted to 50 mph or under and no full throttle for the next 500 miles.
