Best mileage I would expect to be closer to 60 mph. No turbo
diesel likes your foot in the pump so I'm sure in the big mountains I will
be slowing down and using 4th and in the steepest grades even 3rd.
As long as your EGT stays below 1,100F they don't mind, your fuel gauge
may object though! ;-)
I seriously doubt you'll find a hill you'll ever need 3rd, and most
likely not
4th either. Not unless you get slowed behind a truck or slow curve
driver.
They just pull and pull. Even my Rabbit will take Blewett Pass in 4th
and 5th
so long as I don't get pushed below 55 to 60mph, by some slow driver.
Sounds like a really fun ride Brian! Is that oil cooler sandwich just a
used
car pull off/bolt on? Sounds perfect!
