  3. Ok this is funny because my last Volvo would do some of these things, like the winshield wipers would just come on and the cruise would change the radio station or my dash lights would just turn off. MY new Volvo has a radio issue but think its due to a bad ground.
     
    Texas-Nana Thanks this.

    lol... our volvo is green! It spit air out for a while, hoping it don't spit anything else out for a long time... I think it was the first and last one for him.

    ROFL oh that's funny.

    I'm so glad we're back in an international. Of course I REALLY like this one because it's the biggest we've had and Thelma is a workhorse. I swear this truck....it's like the heavier the load the more the truck likes it.

    Sometimes I swear I can feel her hunker down, wiggle her drive wheels and say "oh yesssssssssss" then off we go.


    *sighs* I have to much imagination. :biggrin_2556:
     
    SweetSouthernRide, blanco and Magnum1 Thank this.

    We have a couple of shakers, and wish that was all we had at times.

    The volvo is comfy inside, but geez it's got the gremlins!
     
  10. MY biggest complaint with the Volvo is they are finicky with shifting and they ride terrible when bobtailing

    First thing I had to fix on my truck when I got it... Clutch fan! I also replaced one of the idlers at the same time. If I may make a suggestion, if it is your clutch fan. Get a new one in lieu of a rebuild kit, I had them rebuild mine, and it still squeals when it kicks in. Not sure what the deal is, but its annoying! Maybe ya might just need a new belt. I replaced mine because it would never shut off lol.
