How are Volvo’s so quiet?
Almost every one I see running down the road have the skirts flopping all over the place
Is this a poor design or just driver neglect?

P.S. There's a way to get around those $140 per hour dealer shop fees, and the smart owner will find them no matter what brand of the truck he owns.Last edited: May 1, 2021

I’m a Kenworth person but if you want an auto and it’s older then 2018 then probably a Volvo with I shift. The Eaton autos are really annoying IMO. The Endurant didn’t come out until 2018 model year in the KW. Volvo parts are expensive from what I hear though.

Friend of mine had a new (probably remanufactured) engine and I-shift transmission put into his truck for $53K out the door at the local Volvo dealership with 250K miles warranty parts and labor couple years ago on his Volvo. So it’s not cheap if you want warranty with any engine manufacturer I think.

I love the 16+ Paccar engine, but I have heard the paccar auto is ####. That's why I went manual.
Vampire and slow.rider Thank this. -
