Where is everyone #5

Bout what I got from Swift Current to Bismarck today. 78k gross too.

 

Hmmmm that's still a bit more than what summit is telling me for ride height but what they told me seems very low.

I may need new drive tires. I'm not super sure. Idk what else to check honestly.

 

Utah.

If it pays the bills and keeps you moving, it's all we company drivers need.

I'd never buy a Volvo (unless it's a wrecked truck and has a C-12 or C-13 in it that I want) but I'm getting used to driving this thing. It's way nicer than the Crapcadia I had at Paul's. I should have gone for the Pinnacle on that one.

I'm going to give myself two years at this place before I start thinking about buying a truck (my wife even said we'll talk truck once we have a house). But the more time goes by every day, the more I start thinking about it.

'80's something with a B-model kitty under the hood. That's all I need.

Owner runs a Shaker COE with a B. I'll see if I can grab pics tomorrow when I'm at the yard if she isn't out with it.

 

That sound pretty good. Knocking down 8mpg. You doing that with the red cascadia & tank in your sig..?

Nah, this new thing


That Cascadia couldn't do better than 5 mpg with a tridem if its life depended on it. Never found out the actual specs, but it drove like a 400hp/1500tq motor.

At least this Volvo can pull a hill decent with a tandem load and get to 70 mph to pass. I think it's a 455. But that's perfect for tandem loads in Canada and the US. 70 mph at 1500 rpm. Usually cruise at 65 though, get better fuel economy there.

 

I.would be leaning towards fuel pump after watching the videos.

 

That's pretty impressive. Condo, flatbed, tarp, & very close to legal US gross weight. 65 is what I like to run if I'm not in hurry. My old bucket does better there as well..

Is that a dpf, def truck too?

 

Can you help me understand what ths issue with the pump might be and what the fix could be? I'm going to try to force the shut off valve open by putting a full 12v to it then key on and cranking. If it hits right off multiple times then I guess the shut off valve is the culprit.
