Finally back on the road

The rear mounted radiator and inter cooler with the big fans add to the specs both running together it is like a big vacuum cleaner on the DL3 MCI

I've driven mid to high miles S60s that don't splatter at all, and some that do, but still run good and strong. So I wouldn't worry about it, other than trying to contain it if you are fussy about the rear of the bus and the toad. The S60 is a great engine, other than it sounds awful compared to an old 2 stroke.

I used DDEC reports to pull trip data off the ecm today. Wow I had no idea the amount of trip information stored on these things. Really a neat piece of software. Daily logs with key off time, idle time, drive time, fuel usage, brake applications, engine load percentage and much more. Really impressive. Btw, it showed 9.5mpg over the last 1200 miles (I reset the trip data when I installed the engine in the bus) which agrees with my hand calculations. On the flat the mpg is pretty close to what I was getting with the 11.1, but in the mountains is where it really surprised me. I averaged about 2mpg better with the 12.7 over the 11.1 in the hill country. I'm currently running it at 430hp/1550tq. I started at 470/1550 but it would start to get a little warm on those long hard pulls so I turned it down to 430/1450 for a short while then settled on 430/1550 and it seems to do well there. Warms up a little on the longer hard pulls but still within acceptable range. About 15 miles of 6 to 8% grade saw the temp max out at 211 close to the top. Not bad. I'm happy.

Oh and that was with ambient air temp at 96.
