My point exactly, the unsuspecting buyer would never know the coach was used to tow a 3000 pound vehicle during the break in period! And if you had a problem with the tranny or drivetrain, the average buyer wouldn't suspect this practice.

On another note, I did speak with Ford about the F-53 engine, they tell me the engine is run for a period of time after manufacture and before it's mounted on the chassis, to insure its running properly and to assist in the break in period.

I was told the transmission and drivetrain were not subject to this "run period."
