    So Pdizzle.
    What engine and drive-line in it.
    A D13 with I Shift would be good.

    I saw king had gotten a bunch of new 670's how are they working out? Lots of power? What about MPG's?

    I had pre-egr volvos, I had no problems, the ishift auto box is around a long time too, they are trouble free and well proven so I don't expect you should have many problems, it's a beautiful looking rig you've got the best of luck with it

    I have a Volvo 780 2012, but at 40K miles already had a water in the fuel sensor malfunction, which, without warranty, would have been a cheap $400 to replace. Beware of the sensors!(new trucks have a lot of em). Volvo offers an extended warranty for $6000, which I am considering. I don't know about the Volvo engine, but most O/O's with new volvos seem to have the Cummins.

    I own a business and transport my own products. I only drive every once in a while, but when I do it's a 780 with a Cummins and 13 speed. The truck is easily the best truck I've ever owned. And I've had em all!

    Comfort, power, tons of space....unmatched.
