600,000 miles VS 1.5 million miles: Comparing 2 trucks

[@WilliamGemstone]

My 08 D12 is 15k away from 1.5 million never been rebuilt and barely replaced alternator and belts 2 weeks ago.

[@thatdieseltech4666]

These D12’s are work horses 💪🏽. How long have you owned yours?

[@michaelwright1602]

Might want to do the lower end before you toss a rod out of the side of the block... Just saying.

[@WilliamGemstone]

@@michaelwright1602 that's what oil testing is for

[@josephstorm6093]

Like your vids, It's as if we're walking or sitting in the office talking truck, my fav subject but I would mainly listen, you guys have much good, helpful knowledge.

[@leaninheavy]

Man I feel bad for the driver who’s driving that 2006. He deserves an upgrade

[@maximusmiles8435]

So do you typically buy tractors with over 500k?

[@edmondcarter9457]

I have a 05 d12 I’m not sure if it’s a 670 or 630 but I’m around the 890k I’m looking to buy another vnl in the next few months but I’m getting an I shift this time so I can hire people who only can drive automatic. I hear so much 💩 about Volvos but from my mechanic experience volvos are the least in the shop. I was gonna go international (Cummins) or freightliner cascadia 125 but I think I like volvos the most.

[@charlesxavier3489]

Was it pre emissions?

[@tommyreed4220]

Please don’t waste your money on a Volvo junk trunks for 10k

[@edmondcarter9457]

@@tommyreed4220 I know people to say the same thing about freightliner, international and western star. Unless you own a kenworth or Pete it’s gonna be always someone who gonna say something about you drive. If I was an owner operator I would be buying nothing but kenworth for the comfort.

[@patryk2497]

@@edmondcarter9457 exactly man you can’t put a driver in a kenworth or peterbilt these days. I own two Volvo’s and they do me just fine.

[@blakejustice8212]

Don’t go international, parts are super expensive. I’d stay with the Volvo with a d12 or ISX Cummins

[@TheLayton2012]

Worth notice this 07 D12 1.6 million miles truck got retired due to oil pan plug mia.???

[@brandonchretien5995]

im having a hard time choosing LT625 with x15 or 2016 670 with d13

[@kellyhoneyfeloncdljourney]

Hello, I am subscriber for long time. Can you make a video about loss of throttle response on Volvo, ishift No codes on dash

[@truckingswe]

Would it be worth getin a 7/8 reman D-12 on an 1,5 millon Volvo or is the Volvo exchange engines to expensive. Sense the D-12 is so good engine.

[@WilliamGemstone]

Run your engine until it wont turn on or spits out a piston. D12 is a literal iron horse. You would be surprised what a good overhead job does to bring an engine back to life. It was the last engine to have an open blow by tube. Test your oil and if its normal keep running it.

[@frontrunner2104]

Does the egr pressure sensor go out on these alot

[@thatdieseltech4666]

Yes but I would also take a look at the Venturi pipe if it needs to be updated or the ports are clogged.

[@frontrunner2104]

Alright thanks

[@topfloorempire675]

Y’all have any Volvos for sale?

[@MrSami2023]

y u retired it.didnt explain.rebuilt time or

[@alexandertakele6136]

I drive every where I usually see freightliner with dd15 broke down on free way. Rarely a Volvo with d13. Not a fan of the new Cummins I believe the older Cummins are good. My opinion thoe

[@blakejustice8212]

When I was a company driver I was in a 2014 volvo with a d13, all it ever did was break down. Wanted to regen, or check engine light, something with emissions. Had it from 550k ran it to 600K & hated it because it was always in the shop getting fixed.

[@thesolojourney8955]

How much does it cost to do a engine swap or a transmission swap on a semi truck? Estimated range with parts plus labor hours. I understand insurance, registration, oil/filter changes, tires, brakes vary depending on how little or more it’s driven.

[@Ball.Daily11]

Really depends on the engine. If you want a brand new one you could be looking at 30k if you get a used one you can half that price. Labor the for swap will probably be around 7k depending on the labor rate for the shop you use.

[@edbadilla]

hi guys im pretty new to the transport industry and if you could share some highlights on tire rotations that would give us newbies a little awareness on tire rotations that would be a great help thank you and keep making great vids!....

That’s a great price have a shop double check the ecm miles and the odometer miles to just verify and Pre purchase inspection 💪🏽.
