The company i was with in 2012 bought a 2011 with a d13 in December of ‘12. It was an under powered pos, i think rated at 430hp at the time. We conplained enough that they finally had it turned up. Bergey’s the local Volvo dealer told us “we can crank it up to 475hp. That’s it for that motor”.
So my info may be wrong, i never looked into it any, this could have been because of the low hp settings stock that it didn’t have the internals to support more than 475hp.
Bottom line on that truck, it was a left over for a reason. The rears were way to tall. It was 100% a flat land truck. Even after they turned it up it struggled to get climb an over pass. Lol.
2019 d13 or x15? What should I buy??

I read a out it and it sound good to me. I dont know if my x15 has this, but so far I am getting 8.8 mpg with the new truck. The only think that I dont like so far that I didnt have this feeling with my 780, is the waves. When the road its kinda curvey it feels like I am in a small boat ♀️ on some waves lol. I had someone the other day complimenting my truck at a rest area and he said his new freightliner is much worse in that sense. I guess it waves like that because if the new suspension system but I am not sure. Im attaching a pic when i put my company name on the truck
