Thanks for your reply

 

Oram, do you know the weight of the truck?

 

My specs sheet shows 18,500 but it depends on the options you choose.

 

17,900lbs on the spec sheet.

Here is my earlier post on Volvo

"I have a 98' Volvo 770 with a Detroit engine. She is a reliable, decent partner of mine since 2000. But I will give you some of my thought, why I would not buy a new one. Sure she has a nice ride, at the time of the purchase not many trucks could come close. But they did not improve anything since then and the other truck makers are catching up. She is heavy. Little over 20,000 pounds without fuel. Depend on the trailer sometimes I have problem with 43-44,000 pounds in the dry van. Every part what use the name "Volvo" is premium priced and low quality. They made some cosmetic changes in 2002. Every strong built fiberglass body parts was changed to cheap plastic. Bumper, hood, skirts, what by the way falling apart after a couple months, and a little hit on them, and cracks all the way. The chrome on plastic everywhere is peeling off. The headlight is complex, expensive, and need to be changed every 3-4 years, because after that a candle give more light. Anyway, the water go into it after a few years. The dash nice, complex, sealed one piece. Even the bulbs are not replaceable. During the last 12 years I had to replace gauges six times, plus some bulbs. A new dash is 1,200$. Do the math. The paint of the frame so bad, after 5-6 years it looks 100. I have two friends with a 2008 and a 2009 Volvo, Volvo engine. In the first two years they were in and out of the dealership mostly because of electrical issues, (sometimes on hook) also they had to change the injectors and pay for the upgrade even under warranty, because the factory ones could not stand the pressure. It is true, after the first couple years, after every bug was fixed, they are quite happy with their trucks......But they would try a different brand next time. So do I."
