Fantastic trip!! Wall Drug in Wall, SD (near Rapid City) is worth a stop. Do they still give you free ice water? I remember stopping at Wall Drug in 1973 when I crossed the continent in my Volkswagen Squareback (1500 cc, 54 hp, top speed about 72 mph in the morning when the air was dense).

Surviving the heat: not much you can do other than start very early every morning.

Your new engine: I suggest an oil and filter change after about 2000 miles.

If you need some repairs after you leave Detroit, Swedish Engineering in Ann Arbor, MI, does quality work. There are a lot of Volvos in Ann Arbor. Beware that Swedish is pretty expensive.

Have fun!!
