rev the engine to 5000 rpm before break in period

I took delivery of my white fr-s AT last Monday, n I took it on a little road trip this past weekend (it was a 300 miles round trip) n I had 112 miles before the road trip. I drove between 60-85 miles on the freeway, trying not to keep it at a constant speed or rpm. But on 4 occasions, I accidently rev the engine to 5000 rpm going uphill. My question may sound dumb, but I hope I did not do too much damage to the engine. N I thought engine these days are pre broken-in from the factory.

lol.

don't worry about it at all. My father in law, who is a cummins turbo diesel instructor and mechanic, breaks in those motors with 60+ PSI turbos with 100% load and max torque for 5 minutes and that's it. Motors these days are designed to be pushed a lot harder safely, imo.

You probably need a total rebuild or a new engine

Ooof, hopefully you didn't bend any valves. One thing is certain though, your warranty is void.

Youre fine.

The flux capacitor will no longer be covered under warranty.

The OP was worried about going above 4000 during the 1000 mile breakin period, which is recommended by the manual.
