2016 Volvo D13 500hp I shift eco torque

I have a 2013 455 eco torque you don't need the 500 and the extended warranties take a big jump if hp is above 460? I have 470k on mine only a reoccurring trac control light and one piston cooler sensor, other than that regular maintenance.

 

I took mine in for the annual filter replacements and a valve set yesterday. The shop guy called me and said he had good news and bad news. The good news was that I wouldn't be getting charged for the valve job as they had found an oil leak and to fix it they would need to tear into it and reset the valves, so warranty would take care of it.

The bad news was that it is a 60hr job! Yes, I said SIXTY hours! The shop rate is $130ph so that's $7800 in labor alone, plus the cost of gaskets and anything else they find while they're in there!

The downtime isn't going to hurt me too much as I can always get an extra couple of runs in to cover the lost time. I work a kind of dedicated run and there's always work when I want to run, so I can make up for lost time easily enough.

 

This is a big problem
I have a 2016 Volvo d13 and when I drive on a flat road at times it feels like I'm on uneven pavement and the truck fishtails. When I took it to Volvo they said that there's nothing wrong, I just gotta get used to the Volvo coming fro a Freightliner Anyone one had this problem

 

The 2006 I drive does the same thing. Don't stress out, they all do that

 

OP, Any updates on the new truck?

 

I'm getting a solid 8 mpg with 2K miles on the motor. can only get better when she has a few more miles on it.

 

Waiting for the 2018 model year, thats going to be round two for the new emissions, EPA and green law pass in 1972 takes ahold. All class 8 trucks gross 80,000 must do 10+ on fuel economy…..

 

I know allot of guys with super single drives have this problem. Catches the road irregularities made by standard tandem trucks in the middle(squeeze out).

 

I just purchased a 2016 780 I'm getting around 7.5 mpg at 7080 miles no issues, where are you guys getting your truck serviced and which brand of engine oil are you using?
