Volvo - good - bad - ugly

GUYS: tell me all of your bad volvo truck experiences, state the year, model, engine make, milage, the problem, and what was the solution for that problem, if known. thank you.

 

Similar, but not like this. This thread would be like a q/a or problem solving strictly for volvo drivers regardless of their powerplant. Driver could be stuck on the road may be with something as simple as no lights and can check this thread - now, if somebody else had similar issue and fixed and knows what it was exactly: change this fuse-located here and here, and to get to it you need to do this and that. Some one else may have had the same problem but, had a wire rubbed off on the frame - and so on, This can be fast and quick fix it instead of trial and error. Thanks for all of your help and cooperation.

 

Or: how to change the ignition switch with pictures if possible. Or, a wiring harness could be bad, and not the injector, if the truck does this and that. I really would like to have two threads, one for volvo engine - not my favorite engine in this country, and the cummins isx engine. Plus, if anyone has done something to improve what ever - like isx egr by pass - post it here with how, and where, how much and so on. Stuff like that. Therefore, when drivers will have some down time, unloading/loading/ hours reset. etc, hey/she can log on and type his/her problem and solution as well as read others. In the end, this may reduce out of service hours due to trial and error, shops lack of knowledge, toooooo many issues can lead to one problem: engine starts when it likes etc. This will most likely be read and edited by the o/o - since they have most hands on - hopefully and it hits their pockets when there is a problem with the truck. win - win situation - if we all add a little here and a little there.
