Whats it worth?

Series 60 performance did my ecm and man whast as difference. Went get on 430 to 550 hp as nd gained nearly 1 mpg.

 

It's not engine parts that is the problem, truck parts specific to Volvo are the problem

 

You are going to get a million different opinions but i think you need to state what type of work you intend to do.
The gear ratio, headache rack and flag holders tells me it hauled wide or heavy or both which is harder on a truck if it hauled heavy, not a deal breaker though especially if its what you intend to do.
The frame is more work then some realize if you intend to do it right, sand blasting is messy and removes good paint with the rust.
I am just finishing a KW T800, i didn't blast the frame i wire wheeled it and used a DA sander on the painted areas and in the tight areas i lightly used a small wire wheel, sprayed it with Osphro, removed the residue with acetone primed and painted it.
The key is to get everywhere, so you need to remove everything in your way, wheels, fifth wheel, tanks, fairing etc, not a easy job if you intend to do it right.

 

Really,,, cause I can get any part i need over here at most wrecking yards, freightliner, peterbuilt, kenworth, hell even international sells most things I need.. even managed to buy some parts from local tractor supplier.. maybe you just need to shop better..

 

Or maybe you should stop shopping at junkyards

 

Why would I do that.. I can get perfectly good parts at 30/40% of counter cost.. like I said keeps my overhead down.. besides detroits are everwhere and came in almost every truck availible.. so I can find parts almost anywhere.. less overhead means more money home to the wife and kids.. not sure why you seem to think you need name brand parts or think that there hard to come by.. Maybe you just don't like detroits.. so this will probaby set you off.. I'm currently shoehorning a 12.7 into a short hood w900a in place of a big cam.. maybe you' want that when I pull it out..

 

No I don’t like Detroit’s, but I didn’t say anything about a Detroit, I said Volvo. I f you want to shop worn out parts have a good time,

 

Don't own volvo nore would i.. plus I check all over my parts real good that come used.. and i never buy a rebuildable part used if the rebuild kit is cheaper, and it usully is..

 

In case you couldn't figure it out from my last answer, I don't care, drive all the junk you want.

 

Ok, whatever Mr. King of the road.. I don't think it's junk and it passes d.o.t. every tme its checked..
