    I have not been around Volvo's so I need some advice. &nbsp;I'm looking at a 2001<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.666666984558105px;">&nbsp;Volvo 770, model VNL64T, Cummins N14 435 HP, clean, non-smoker owner-operator unit. Very low miles &lt;300K. &nbsp;It has 370 rears with a 10 speed. &nbsp; &nbsp; How well can I expect this truck to hold up in general and<br>are there any specific things to watch out for?? &nbsp; Thanks in advance &nbsp;Jim<br><br></span>

    hmmm,not sure about that mileage,maybe it's 300k after overhaul?I drove 2001 770 but it was signature edition with ISX,18 speed and 600HP,best truck i ever drove.N14 is good engine,my friend has two of them with over 1 000 000 miles,still running good with no overhaul done yet

    Happy Thanksgiving !!!!

    One of the best Volvo trucks/ Pre version2!!!

    Version -2 was too complicated.

    Really good truck was truck with '98 schematics but with "new" cab and hood, like Version 2. It is rare truck. Were made FH and VN only. I see sometimes in workshops.
