    When you get done laughing, maybe you can help the newbie. Hubbie and his partner just picked up 2 *new* trucks. 2006 Volvo's VNL670, and neither one knows how to pop the hood. It's dark and cold out there. Headed from Buffalo to Albany on the NYS Thruway in wintery conditions.
    Thanks in advance!

    So did they buy these trucks without opening the hood? How ignorance prevails!

    If he's remembering correctly, it was under the steering column. He's now thinking that might of been the Peterbilt or both of em. lol. I still hope it helps.

    Yes, Redd, hubby's friend bought both truck's sight unseen and we're happy to get 'em. Neither one is ignorant. I thought that sort of thing was frowned upon on these boards.

    Possibly! But you would have to put the hood down to test drive it don't you?
