Tell me about Volvos

Have two old ones, looks like a stock C15 all the fun is on the inside.





Those are old pics, when i bought the truck in december.

 

why would u put orange filters on a yeller motor,i'm just askin

 

lol I was thinking of a few questions myself in regards to that yeller motor:
Why why why why why why why?

lol

 

Those are pics on dealer lot, its what was on there at the time. It runs cat filters now.

 

i should say

 

Im no fan of baldwins, even their high efficiency filters suck, on average oil psi is 3-4psi lower, fuel psi atleast 5 psi lower, and fuel filters clog up after 8-10k miles of use, atleast from my experience.

 

Dont tell me you got pwn3d by no electricity man?

 

550,Speaking of the "Yeller" color on Cats.The Marine in that 359 is solid shiney white and never had a spot of yellow anywhere on it.EVER.When I first looked at it, I told that old man I was gonna paint her yellow and he about had a stroke.He said to leave her like she was because I could have fun with it.He said the guys that knew what it was wouldn't want to fool with you and the guys that didn't ,he would just make different names up all the time for what kinda motor it was....Rolls Royce,Caddy,Studebaker,Four stroke 871 Detroit... etc etc.He was right,it was fun.

 

Yeah power is fun, mine aint a marine motor, just has marine goodies on it. I can climb 6% mountains with 80k lbs in 17th gear doing 65mph using 44-45psi of boost, if i push it to the floor the sucker will start to accelerate.

 

One of the O/O's at a company I drove for, had a late 70's to mid 80's -- as I recall, Peterbilt. By choice. Well maintained.
He used to haul produce, low sleeper, long wheelbase, visor, and an even more impressive interior.
Had an original, he said, White Cat under the hood.
That's the color it came from the factory.
White.
Not yellow.

I K N O W that Big truck had long legs and didn't mind climbing.
And it NEEDED the locomotive horns it had.

Was that a marine Cat?
