My bad... for not correcting my post. I checked your link after I wrote it. Very impressive I must admit considering all the facts. I guess...
It looks like his truck is stock (not modified) what kind of speed does he travel at? Maybe his dedicated runs are downhill? If I'll run at 55mph...
That is around 7.5 US mpg.
+1. Until recently my computer was showing me a constant average of 2 mpg more then what I was actually getting in a Volvo, until I recalibrated...
+1. My buddy recently sold his 03 Volvo 660 with pre EGR Cummins 475 with 500k miles on the clock, in a very good working condition for 16k USD.
I own an 06 780/ISX slightly tuned with almost 800k original miles. Not without it's problems like every truck out there. It's the most...
Turning away from Cummins. My plans are to do the complete out-of-frame rebuild/conversion to signature 600.
Thanks! I'm very easy on the throttle unless it's up the grade. Clutchless shifting helps as well. Nice ride you'll be getting. I understand it's...
Is that a glider kit you have ordered?
Truck: 06 Volvo 780 ISX565/1850 13spd - 3.58 rears, Michellin 22.5 all around with balancers . Diesel Spec flash with EGR delete, PDI Intake...
Installed the PP quite flow muffler about a month ago on my 06 780 with ISX 550 with single exhaust. Definite improvement in engine spool up...
ISX hands down! Volvos are weak in EGR, electrical and fuel department and it's a big joke when pulling up hill or engine braking. In short excuse...
3.42 if you wanna stay under 1400 rpm at 65 mph. With 3.58 you'll be right at 1400 rpm at 65 mph, but it will pull better up hill. Driving on...
I run an ISX500 (1850tq) with 13 speed in a 780 Volvo with 3:58 rears. At 65 mph I'm at 1400 RPM. My MPG is around 7.6 with 77k lb gross.
It should throw an "active" electrical fault code, not a CEL. Since there is an interrupted sensor connection. I did 10k miles so far with EGR...
Thanks guys! I appreciate the replies. The truck has been parked for about 2-3 months period on almost empty tanks, never been fully fueled since...

Thanks for your advice! I have a feeling the problem is in the fueling system (pump, injector, rail). Btw coolant level and temps looks good so far.
I've an 07 Volvo 780 with Cummins ISX 500 and 500k miles, still on original turbo and egr. Lately it started rough idling on a cold start only....
