So I've had my gladiator about 2 weeks ago and bought it with 13 miles on it, drove it around the dealership area about 10 miles. signed my papers and got another 10 miles on it before reaching the interstate. I made about a 130 mile trip back home after purchase mostly interstate between 70-85 with little fluctuation in rpms. I didn't think anything of this before but aside from that long stretch its mostly had a fair amount of city driving to and from work and never went above 4kish. My jeep now has about 600 miles on it. I feel like it shouldn't be the end of the world and if anything maybe drive it a little more aggressive for a few hundred miles, I see tons of post about seating the rings but nobody ever really says at what point is it too late to seat the rings. Yes I'm slightly embarrassed as well because I got a built and boosted 4.6 but I've never bought a brand new car so I thought nothing of it . Pic of my racecars engine bay included, just so I can accept the memes and yes I seated those rings
