Trucking in North America vs around the world

Beautiful.
I never had the pleasure, but i put alot of miles on her sister, the k100.

 

Lets talk waterpump prices
MX13 or MX11 doesn't matter as they use the same pump.
I paid 820€ which is 906us $ or 1208 can $ or 1342 aus $.
There is a small discount coming .

 

Water pump DAF CF & XF-series

 

They only have parts for euro 5 trucks.
No euro 6.

 

I got the invoice, truck is fixed, mighty MX13 is back on road with ice cubes for Amsterdam!!!

Labour:

water pump replacement 70 euros
cvv replacement 115 euros
installation of power inverter 115 euros

Parts:
water pump 590 euro
cvv 400 euro
NOx sensor 380 euro
power inverter 185 euro

all net prices

 

EPA 10 and 13 are both (different pumps) $327 and EPA 17 variable speed $957 @ my local Pete dealer.

 

@Caesar in case you are reading.

my cousins daf cant reach last gear in bosnia (axle ratio is 2.38).
on slightest highway inclines need to drop one gear. can use last gear for longer time only in italy.
fuel economy same as on previous euro6.

real world proof fast transmission dont bring significant benefit, or no benefit at all.

 

I'd lay down a $100 bill to say he is reading...

 

I got an offer for next volvo.

I'm thinking about installing normal aux AC, getting rid of Globetrotter XL for normal Globetrotter (we removed 2nd bunk anyway).

This time I really think I should gamble and get new Turbocompund 500hp engine (2800nm from 900rpm), with 2,31 ratio. It's +5000E to price.

I've counted, and it should make same torque on wheels like my previous 500@2.64. 1050 rpm at 85km/h, max torque untill 70km/h on 12 gear.

 

Are the Volvo engines over there plauged with injector cup issues?
