    You are spending more than you need to. New Volvos around 135,000. $30,000 just to have Paccar product.

    I hear Volvo's are pretty smooth on the road. I've thought about getting one, but everybody I know that has/had one says they're great till it starts falling apart then it's like a domino effect of problems.

    I've read about this drive line vibration issue. Was there ever a fix for this?

    Yes,

    Driveline angles were off.

    Was covered under warranty.

    They were able to fix it right at rush peterbilt tulsa.

    I guess depending how bad it is they may have to remove the entire driveline and send it out to a shop that specializes in that stuff. Luckily they have a shop right in Tulsa they use for that. I was told it would be a 1 day turnaround...
