i didnt run the 50 mile an hour either, but I didn't goose it from a dead start either. Owners manual said engine didn't need much break in, and needed to run, but don't overdo it at the start. Said to get on it while running down the interstate, to help break it in, but don't stand on it from the line until after 500. Makes sense, I normally don't abuse one anyway. Too busy playing with all the buttons.
I have read on the diesel sites, that leaving the brake on will reduce warm up time, and possibly help with the dpf cleaning (never heard that before). Normal warm up here in Chattanooga doesn't take more than a minute or two, then drive it like I own it, not like I stole it. I have a 14 mile trip to my post office, with about the first 8 miles on roads that are 40 MPH or less, and the last 6 at 55. Once or twice a week, I run the interstate just to get a little speed and heat in it. Same as I did with my 01 Duramax without the DPF.
