    Back in July I bought my 2010 780 with D-13 and iShift. I bought mine with 373,000 miles on it. NO DEF either. I like my truck to be honest. She's been really good to me.

    I think the price is right for your truck considering the mileage on her. It might be worth looking her over, test driving and letting a shop look her over.

    my Dad has a 209 Volvo with the I-shift, Cumminins engne..
    One of the nicest interiors, super smooth ride, quieter than any truck ive ever been in, cummins speaks for itself.
    I wasnt sure about an auto,, i have driven a few other ones from other manufacturers,, some good, OK and bad,,, the I-shift is extremely awesome in my opinion,
    my next truck i buy in 2 years from now will be a Volvo, with I-shift and cummins and a tripak.
    i cant believe how quiet the volvos are inside,, makes me mad when i drive down the road in my FL,,,
    theres literally no noise inside,, no engine noise thru doghouse area, no wind thru windows or doors,,, and the AC works on low -med fan speed in 105* desert,,,

    Are you certain it had a Cummins engine? My understanding was I-shift only worked with the Volvo engines (and the Mack version with the Mack version of the Volvo engine).

    My company has an almost totally Volvo fleet. The Volvo engine trucks seem to be running pretty good. The Cummins have been the troublemakers. But that has more to do with the 2007 emissions DPF systems. I had to let mine go when it began running regens every 150 miles.

    That not my question. I would never own a volvo engine the question is how much less does a D13 volvo vs cummins isx weight in a volvo truck?

    Can you tell us more about the specs on your truck? What HP is the engine, rear end ratio, tires you are running...

    Thanks
