    Good evening everyone,
    I have a quetion on 07 VNL 780 with D16 engine. The truck didn't come with the things i've listed below, if i buy the parts is it possible to add them on or will it be too difficult to do. If you know how to please feel free to share.

    1) Secondary dash gauge - engine and transmission temperature. I purchased the gauge on EBay what else will i need and what does it connect to after mounted on the dash?
    2) Steering column six stage engine brake lever - i have the lever what else do i need to make it work?
    3) Power lock - I have the switch installed it but the power lock doesn't work.
    4) Bunk blower - my bunk blower is only working on high speed only, is there a speed resistor for the bunk blower or any idea what's causing it and how can i fix it.

    Like always thank you guy for your knowledge and your time!!!

    Hi, About your aditionnal temperature gauges they are connected to the main cluster via Data link .
    For your engine brake lever with 6 position if your truck is come from factory with on-off and 3 position switch you will need to change the calibration inside the VECU (Vehicule Ecu) to match your 6 position lever.
    A change in the Volvo Main Frame should be done before you can reprogram your VECU.
