    Maybe you should tell all the millions of Cat owners they shouldn't keep their trucks,I haven't heard of them selling any to buy a Volvo.As for me not being a trucker,I wish you goober types would take the time to learn a bit about who you're talking to before you speak and make yourself look stupid.:biggrin_25518:BTW...If you know "cummings" so well you may want to spell it Cummins if you ever have to look it up in the phone book or something

    Personally have had the best luck outta Cats. That goes for a TT ACERT C-15 # 600/2050 as well. And no I never had a terrible turbo failure.

    13spd with 3:42 gears and 535/hp will take you anywhere you want to go with decent mpg.

    CATS do just fine, I was getting over 7 with my 96.

    And your hatred of CATS is only 50% correct. The Acerts do not hold a candle to the pre-emission ones.


    Like I said before, if the Volvos were as great as you seem to think they are, and the end all of trucks then every body would have one.................. truth of the matter is EVERY BODY DOES NOT HAVE ONE.
