    Well I brought a 1998 volvo Vnl 610 with a pre egr Detroit, and a super 10 trans when I got the truck everything was fine and she still rides good now but I have a few concern.

    my low air buzzer doesn't come on. where is this located so I can attempt to fix this my self and save $.

    also I notice I have a little white smoke coming from the dipstick when I check the oil with the engine running what can this be?

    lastly my clutch is kinda hard to push in any suggestion why?

    truck has beens sitting for a couple weeks now idk if this is the cause of anything?
    Thanks for any input

    The Low Air Warning Buzzer is located inside your Instrument Panel Cluster, you need to take the two top torx screws out, disconnect the air lines and electrical harness and disassemble the cluster, you need to un-solder the old one and solder the new one in. You can buy the Buzzer from your Volvo Dealer.

    The white smoke is most likely the oil burning when you pull the dipstick out. Why are you checking the oil level with your engine running, you're not going to get a accurate reading with your engine running. You're supposed to check it when the engine is stopped and been sitting for awhile.

    Your Clutch may need adjustment or your Master or Slave Cylinder may need to be replaced.
