    Hi, i have 2012 volvo with dd13 in it. Truck would't start so i was using starting fluid when not runing for few days. It worked like that, but now it wont start even with starting fluid? It cranks but no go. Any ideas what could be the problem, thx

    Starting fluid is not a good thing to use. Volvo engine are always haveing injection cup problems.

    Sounds like the freightliner engine and Volvo chassis don’t get along
