I'm wondering where to test the van to see what fuel economy we get from it at given, Constant speeds with the cruise control on; I could go on I-80 but there aren't many flat long stretches of road that I know about within fifteen miles of the house I'm living in as of this post date; Perhaps the best thing to do is just test on I-80, I can still gently pulse to 65 on a down slope and then glide down to 55 on up slopes after the test.
I did say that I got more FE at 55 than 65 before, But would like to repeat it now that the SG2 is working better and I'd like to test it differently.
I also timed the water temperature heat-up time (While driving it) And it took between seven and eleven minutes and about 3.3 miles to get to 175-185 Ferenheit, At about 73 degrees Farenheit. Hopefully we'll get a water heater some time, Not only for winter.
Will the defrost still work if I take the clutch relay out? (Maybe I should find out for myself.) The A/C belt is not in the van and I tried using the system with the relay out, It still blew air but I didn't try the defroster.
