    Well I wreaked my Volvo a few weeks ago. Onto it's side with a flatbed load on some back road. I have a Fleet air filter and a blixxton 200 Volvo power box for sale. I no longer will be driving a volvo. I'm going back to my first truck witch is a 96 peterbilt.

    Glad you're okay! What kind of Pete? I like the 379 and 388. Volvos have that awesome turning radius, but I'm not a huge fan.

    Be safe and careful out there!

    Thanks guys. I was fine had my seat belt on. It was just kinda hard to take it off hanging in the air with the truck on it's side.

    My pete is a 96 378 with a 36" sleeper. 3176b cat makeing 365HP. So if my wreck didn't make me go slower my truck differently will. LOL.

    what year and what engine did you truck have? Did the box make a big difference? Do you still have the box?

    By the look of your pic I'm guessing that's a 07 vn630 D11 engine? How big of a difference did the power box make?

    It was a 2007 630 D12 465hp. It was setup with 20% more power and the power is instant. Its a big differents and with the hills here in PA going out to nj back MD and back and NY I averaged 6.5. The best I had was 7.6 mpg.

    I am asking $1200 for both, the life time fleet air filter and the adjustable 10-40% Blixxton 200 Volvo box.
