Advice; Should I replace my high mileage, paid off truck?

Yeah good call on keeping it. That would of been a bad move just 2 years before retirement. You'll be ahead of the game fixing yours up. The prices are crazy and you could end up spending even more fixing a different truck. The devil you know is better

 

And keep in mind op thanks to all the steering wheel holders salvage yards are loaded with late model truck parts .
I have 997k on my 13 cascadia now and have been thru all major components except the trans and rear ends , and when the trans fails I'll grab a low mileage one from the junkyard.
IMHO in today's market it makes better sence than ever to maintain the hell out of and repair older paid for equipment for single truck owners....especially for those of us approaching retirement.

 

Very frustrating! ...went thru that with mine after a 27k overhaul ....had it fixed PERMANENTLY.

 

Did you buy the Volvo new? One thing I find difficult with used trucks is you don't know what has and hasn't been done, and if it was done right. Even someone with the best history keeping is still hit and miss. And you don't know why something was done, only what was done (driver error, parts failure etc etc)

If you know the exact history of the Volvo I would keep running it.

 

My truck has around 1.3m miles on it. Yes I have to work on it some. It’s been towed twice in the 10 yrs I’ve had it. How could I be mad at it? Now if I had a new one with a payment attached to it that won’t run for some mysterious reason I’d be wild. I’d more than likely burn it before the wrecker got there.

 

At what mileage did you get your overhaul and who did it?

 

684k and I had the company im leased to do it .

 

Keep your Volvo. 2016/2017 are the last good Volvos built in NA.
Previous years were plagued with numerous recall campaigns.
2018+ are a steaming pile of ####.
With stamped cams and hybrid common rail fuel system.
With sensors failing on a regular basis.
Keep it and fix it until you retire.
The downtime will kill your bottom line, even with extended warranty.
