    OK finally got this truck out to test drive the other day and noticed a couple things, 1 the speedometer is not working, 2 it's governed at around 65 "i'm guessing considering no speedo" and it also seems to want to keep the rpm's in a certain range 1500 and 1700 which is kinda annoying. anyways just wondering if anyone has any ideas on why the speedo's not working and if possible how to disable the governor.. I own the truck it is not a company truck so i can do with it whatever i want which means no governor if at all possible with out spending 2000 dollars for some one to hook up there fancy scanner to it. one other thing is that the cruise control doesn't seem to work half the time, previous owner said anyways.

    Nasriza knows what he is talking about. Check the speed sensor that plugs in on the back of the tail shaft. Sometimes if it's unplugged the truck will be limited to 65 and the speedometer won't work,

    Your truck is a VNL670, not a 680.

    Volvo never produced a 680.
