A question for the gearheads out there:  My wife's new Grand Cherokee sits
in the driveway this morning with a grand total of 85 miles on the
odometer.  Next weekend there's a trip planned that involves several hours
pounding the interstates.

IIRC in the old days they told us to be gentle with new cars until the
engine was "broken in", a few hundred miles or whatever.  With with the GC
there isn't much mention of anything like this.

So what do you think?  With today's oils and clever design, is there
anything to worry about for the long term?

Stu
