    I've not been late on anything in a long time. GOOD CREDIT. I guess I'll just pay the note for now. Keep her on ice till I decide if I don't want to continue 'company' driving. Thanks fer yalls input.. Be safe & breath the clean stuff.

    D-13 engine. Ive had my share of injector problems. Volvo will admit to it if you ask... I was under extended warrantee when it happened. Didn't cost me much outta pocket, just a lot of downtime! To date, she runs like a "Cadillac". lol

    I hope you did not take offence when I made the plain comment that I would not buy it. If I was in a position to pick up a truck that has been cleaned and wokred on that would be a candidate. The 13 speed manual wold be a winner in this

    Some good advice has been offered to me here on this site & friends & mechanics have gotten me to see the light. I'm gonna go 'company' with an Big Old 'grocery running' store (Crete Carrier). I've worked with em before. Good family run company. Fair & not greed stealing off a guys check! I will work comp. with them. Then if I see more value in o/o with them, I can switch over, no problem. They're good like that.

    Ive had to fix the A/C and the APU needs fixing too. But overall, I think it's easier to "know what's wrong & needs to be fixed with this one than going & buying 'other' problems...
