    We have been looking at a 2009 volvo 670 with ishift 12 speed It's a D13 with 485 hp. There is about 600K miles on it. The rear axle is 3.21. We have never owned a volvo . Just wondering what others are finding with this year. We did a quick inspection on it and found a few things on it, crack on the spring and feels like it needs a wheel alignment. What else should we be expecting for problems.

    I've heard when the I-shift is working correctly, it is an awesome piece of machinery. When it is not, be prepared to spend a lot of money.

    I love mine its a 08 d13 780 booosted 500hp. I rarely ever have my flashers on up hill, I'm usually doing 45-50-55 all day up and down donner fully loaded. Biggest power horse I've driven as far as off the lot truck. But it does have its little sensor issues tho here and there. And I've had regen issues after it went on lvl 3 regen I couldn't do crap about it had to get it towed and since then its been golden.

    Plugs in the return tubes! seems to be doing the trick on it! Look it up on here there is plenty that is talked about.

    Also you are probably going to need the top end looked over pretty soon, injectors etc. as well as in the price of the truck you may be able to work in a bottom end maintenance, barrings, rings all that stuff, keep in touch in here as to what they find with it. Thanks.
