I think Volvos are out for us because of the low resale value and lack of shops/parts compared to other truck manufacturers, at least these are rumors we've heard regarding Volvos. We do need to go check out some Petes though, as neither of us have been in one yet.
Will check on the torque and get back to you. -
After 6 months and 60,000 miles I did not regret the purchase.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the info Oram! I will keep checking back to this thread to follow any other issues, good or bad, that you have. Your information (and others in this thread) is much appreciated. My husband and I have been asking every driver of 680's we've seen and about half seem to be reporting these weird sensor issues. All seem to be really happy with the truck, so thats nice to hear. -

It is not a day and night issue compare to other new trucks, but I paid less than 10,000$ premium for it. It is a better truck, more upscale feeling inside, outside and drive and I still believe in the long run this price difference also will be justified, due to the better resale value, or longer life too. I like this truck, I am happy to look at, I am happy to sit into it. Also it is proved, a loved vehicle last longer with less trouble.
The bunk heater works beautifully. It is quiet and efficient. Even it start gradually and stop the same way, I have never realized when it does while I am sleeping and I am not the best sleeper. My issue was the early voltage shut off, but since I reprogrammed to 11.4V I have no problem. The factory set up was 12V and for some reason the heater measure 0.6V less than the actual voltage. Maybe because of the long or not large enough wiring.Globetrotter and deming807 Thank this. -
Not trying to nit pick correct you, just looking for a point of reference for performance of my own truck for comparison.
Thanksdeming807 Thanks this. -
Sure it is. -
Oram, does the cab ac/heater have to be on for the bunk ac/heater to work? Our T600 is like that and I can't stand it. I like no ac or heat on (unless absolutely necessary) but I have to have it on for my husband when he's in the bunk.
Also, did you or anyone else in this thread purchase the warranty for the emissions stuff? A salesman in Phx said you could purchase that warranty separately from the engine warranty.
Just curious. -
