    if I go with I shift that means I would have to get a d-13 which I from what I heard they give out too many problems.

    Well seeing you drive Volvo 670 with most likely a D-13 engine. What's your take on the D-13?

    Well I'm not a master know-it-all mechanic for sure LOL. However, I like Volvo's with the I shift. Mine has been a good truck. Not much more to add.
