    Hi I am looking for some advice on a volvo d13. I have a 2008 volvo with a d13 dpf engine that blew. I dont want to rebuild it. I also have a 2011 with a d13 engine with def that was in an accident and the cab is bad. Can i swap the engine from the 2011to the 2008? If i swap it can i eliminate the def and keep the dpf only? Thanks

    I think they are both H series engines. Youll have a configuration mismatch, which wont mean much to you until you need it programed. Whatever parameters are on the old engine will swap to your new truck, speed gov. etc. idk about the deletes.
