[@adnanwaheed5314]

Thanks brother! Very informative video. I happened to buy 2014 D13 VVN, and have noted down every thing to plan maintenance in time. Till now I had DPF filter cleaned, injector cups changed, DEF dozer valve changed.

[@sherm1918]

Another thing you may want to mention is the 2 I believe they're called the DEF coolant lines, those plastic L shape peices that the lines connect to, I had to have mine changed, because they broke and when they break you loose all of your coolant fast, I'm not sure if you've mentioned this before on your channel, I just thought I'd throw it in, the service guy that come out and fixed mine said he's fixed several on these volvos, thanks for the helpful information you give out, keep doing whatcha doing

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Sherm, that’s a great item to mention as well. Thanks for sharing

[@mjyouletstalk.6724]

I also see a lot of the lower DPF housings cracked at the welds by the DEF doser and also oil pushing through the oil sensors or injector harness and pushing through engine harness.

Hello , great video. Very informative. I have a question about the EGR cooler. When the EGR cooler fails and needs replacement, should they also clean the DPF filter ? Thank you for your time

[@PRobie666]

I would replace the DPF's with new or cleaned ones.. All the coolant leaking into the exhaust stream ends up in the DPF at some point, which only clogs them up. It would be recommended to do the filters when changing the EGR cooler..

The AHI module, usually gets clogged up, restricting fuel to the 7th injector nozzle, because the air dryer filter gets clogged, allowing dirt and oil, to contaminate the air systems.

[@southwesttransport4753]

Thanks for the vids. On a 2013 vnl D13 how many engine software updates have there been?

[@ray8535]

Great videos Adam, been following for a while now. Thanks Based in your experience, what year D13 would you say are the most reliable or have given less issues. Those you barely see in the shop or know have been great year engines. I have a couple of 14s and they have been great. Want to expand my fleet and have heard mixed feedback about newer models, starting with the 2016s and up. Thanks in advance

[@mikeyaro229]

Just my 2 cents in . Best d13 is from 7-14 . 2014 is actually a 2013 year truck was manufactured. D13 from 15 and up are 💩💩💩. Burn oil and prob with head gasket

I have an exhaust leak and can smell it in the cab, but can’t seem to find it anywhere. Thanks for the help great video.

[@larrykussler3671]

Hey Adam, have a D13 VN, and during a forced regen the exhaust temps reach anywhere from 950 to just over 1000 degrees, then it stops and temps come down to around 450 then goes back to regen. Also it seems there is a lot of fuel coming at the connection at the bellows. Have any idea? No codes are coming up. Thanks

[@Ripsaw17]

In the injector seal kit there's the thick purple one at the top and there's a thinner purple one use it on the bottom ring of the injector and that fixes your hard start problems a lot of D13 things I've noticed have a bleed down issue with their injectors and they get air in the system you can change the check valves you can change everything on there and still have a hard start a lot of them can be fixed by running a double seal I need injector itself not always but most of the time that'll fix your problem

[@themackdoctor1818]

Of all the new engines out I prefer the d13 and the mp8 which is the same. You hit the nail on the head with this video. I have a truck repair shop in Texas as well and as far as internal faults the cups are defently the weakest link. I would also mention if you hear your power steering pump making a noise don't ignore it. CHANGE IT! It's a tandem pump meaning its also connected to the fuel as one unit. I've seen the pump lock up and sheer of the gears on the gear train. Then its pull the engine time.😳

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Well said!

What’s the number to your shop?? I’d like to speak to you about these d13 engines... I’m looking to buy one with around 500-600k and I’m def wanting to know if the cups were done

[@michaeldunagan8268]

You don't say...??!! So the piece of crap Mack engine I drove in the spring a '22 is the same piece of crap as the Volvo engine I'm driving now in the winter of '23..??!! Engines that can't get out of their own way. The people that love slug performing engines I can't understand....🙄

[@justinmorgan2723]

Mp8 engines are definitely not the best ever made. Lol. Every engine ever made has it's weak points. For example C15 cats are awesome, but the heads crack in between the valves and injector cups fail. Cummins ISX head gaskets fail pretty regular and the front structure is bad about leaking. No one makes a perfect engine.

[@SincereDa_1]

I have a d16 sometimes when I go up or down a mountain my oil light comes on the oil is full and I've replaced the sensor in the pan twice and the temp sensor and it still cuts off but cranks right up and go sometimes the def light comes on but goes right off I replaced the filter 6 months ago it was 2700 plus labor I don't know what else it could be

[@vityok3000]

2016 volvo with d13 475k miles. Driving max loaded 80k lbs, all day, hot weather, 75mph at around 1am I-4 west just before Orlando, FL violent shaking apears. Cruise desingaged shaking disapears, accelerator pressed shaking reapears. Pressing gas pedal 10-20% got to restarea dropping speed to around 50mph. Sat at rest area for 20-30 min checked driveshaft air bag level engine or transmission leaks. Found nothing unusual. Kept driving 80 more miles to delivery on low throttle 10-20% good thing Florida is flat. Than drove home empty next day 585miles. No problem. What was that? Any suggestions?

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Thank you for sharing; I recommend replacing the fuel filters and retesting. If the problem still exists, I recommend checking codes and having the unit troubleshot.

[@vityok3000]

I currently don't have any codes because I always address them as soon as they apear. But I have long cranking starts from time to time and some bubbles coming from return line inside the fuel tank. So my Injectors are going. Purchased set of new injectors arriving next monday. Already have injector cups and install-removal tool for them. Got it while ago, cuz knew this engine have problems with them. Not sure if I should install all new injectors or just replace bad ones, or replace cups only and use all old injectors. Truck is idling and driving nice and smoth so they are working fine just the leaky kups. I thought about filters but last two times when my filters got clogged, engine just stopped within 5-10 minutes from start acting. I dont have big glass filter on passenger side just original volvo filters and you know how small is original water separator. I always cary spare ones with me. Maybe this situation was caused by filters. Just got smaller junk inside the fuel which clogs them very gradualy. Thanks for advise tho. What will you say about injectors. This truck never had them done, i got it since new. 475k mi now.

I'm interested in more DIY videos on Volvo VNL D13. I replaced aftertreatment shut off valve myself as well both nox inlet and outlet sensors not mention batteries and air connectors that leak over time. I'm interested how I can replace bottom housing that leaks oil and also how to replace or adjust engine brake inside engine housing because after 1500 rpm it starts to hold less and makes vibration feels like something is not right. Also I have manual 10 speed Eaton transmission and would be interested hot to change clutch on the truck. Maybe will be useful for owners see how to change sealing rings that leak air or oil gaskets too, drive rod e t.c

How long does the radiator usually last on this d13 Volvo, I've got 464000 and mine seems to be sipping a little bit on the top?

[@tpnotes]

At 500k miles that's not a bad list compared to ISX. Most engines the turbos, injectors, EGR, after treatment, etc will need work or replacement around 400k. So, a $10k preventive investment before 500k sounds reasonable. Repeat before 900k and get the bearings done if you haven't and you'll drive pass 1 million miles without major headaches. O/O use your reset hours wisely on PM.

Just bought a 2012 with a D13 motor. After it 's ran a few minunntes, I can hear fuel draining back into the passenger side tank. After that, it's hard to crank unless you manually prime it. Before the fuel drainback is heard, it cranks fine. Changed both fuel filters already and no leaks or changes in the problem. Any help with check valves to look at and where they are lcated would be really appreciated.

I'm looking at getting a 2011 780 & the guy got it in 2018, removed the one axle, had new driveshaft made and computer flashed so it won't look for it. Not sure if it was programmed as an rv since it has a auto h he built the deck on it. I know it has a diesel particulate filter on it and 1.1 million miles. He says it runs great and only gets 1 or 2 k miles a year on it. I've asked him to get fluids tested & asking about all the stuff you mentioned here. Guess is would this be a good reliable truck for a few more years & being driven mostly a few times a month and using as an rv since it has an apu? Parts & service are my biggest concern for here in Southwest Arizona because dealers are 2.5 hours east or west & parts availability with prices. Thanks for the great information on the D13 Brad

[@Tenthking68]

I've been losing about 12 gals of oil every three days on my D13. It's not coming out of the stack as the engine runs at idle nor being driven on the road. In addition it's not leaking on the ground...until it sits at idle after being driven for an extend period of time. Or, if you start it and let it sit at high idle(9,000rpm) for about 5 minutes, it will start spewing oil out of the blow-by tube. So could you please give me some insight as to what repairs may be needed? Thank you.

[@chrissapp9507]

Surge tank cracks, oil fill tube dry rots and cracks at the oil pan fitting, rear timing gear cover leaks, crankcase vent pump gasket leaks from drying out, DOSING manifold!! Pathetic how many of these I have changed on the older brick types...just to name a few. Ow and another one, I’ve seen a failed CD player, the factory radio, throw a check engine DTC. That’s just the issues I’ve seen on 14-17 models. They do have electrical bugs but they are much better than our 2020 internationals, but not as reliable as our 2016 freightliners. Good video.

[@PRobie666]

The effed up part about the radio, you cant just throw another volvo radio into it, without having the pass code.. Another annoying inconvenience with Volvo is just about every electrical item in it is a module of some kind.. and if you don't Syncronize and register it with central systems at the time of replacement you screw the next guy who has to change any kind of parameter but can't because your locked out of pretty much anything due to Chassis Id mismatch..

[@Armn9999]

Need help So I got my 2016 Volvo fixed at this shop in Philadelphia. I was told I had to clean my DPF, I had to replace the doser (otherwise the truck wouldn’t do a regen), and they also said I had to replace one of the injectors. Not sure which one. And also 2 knock sensors. After all of this, the truck seemed to run okay for few days but then I noticed something odd about the transmission. I never had any issues with my transmission before. The problem is becoming more and more obvious. When cruising on a straight road, it automatically downshifts to lower gear for few seconds, making the engine scream. When pressing the gas, you can feel a bit of a vibration (never had this issue before) and also, when backing up a trailer, it starts reversing with R1 which makes the truck jerk and shake crazy so I have to manually upshift the gear to r2. I called the shop and they can’t give me any tip other than calling me back to the shop. Can you guys help me out figuring out what might be the issue? Thank you

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

[@mhotrodscooter]

Having long start issues and its getting worst. having to prime it with hand pump if it sits to long. anything I can check? I've checked ball before hand pump and valve on return

[@samiamjam111]

What about the fuel gauge sensor? I’ve driven a couple of these and would fill these things up with diesel and the gauge would still read a quarter of a tank. Which is a bit frustrating.

Hello, I have a Volvo 2013 D 13 engine just change the head and turbo. Everything is fine on the truck runs great now but one issue that I can’t figure out whenever I turn the truck on the truck is cooled as soon as it gets too 120° with the cruise control on, it starts to fluctuate until it gets up to 155 to 160 the fluctuation goes away. Can you help?

[@trevorstdenis1528]

Question, I have a 2017 vnl780 with the d13. The issue im having is when driving in hot temps or loaded climbing hills, my coolant is forcing its way out of the overflow tube on the side of the reservoir tank. Ive changed the pressure cap already and it still does it. Someone mentioned that it could be a bad air compressor cause they said coolant runs through it. Any ideas of what I should check or replace???? Thanks

[@mikestockdale1399]

When idling the truck before it heats up open up the coolant reservoir cap and idle the truck until it warms up. Then look inside open coolant reservoir and see if you have bubbles appearing. If so you have a cracked head allowing exhaust gases and pressures to enter coolant and that pressure is blowing out your overflow. That happened to my D13.

[@jamesaddie4895]

Check engine light stays on. It may go out but most of the time it's on. I asked a Volvo mechanic about it and was told there are ghost in the machine because of so many computers they can't chase down every issue. That made me all warm and fuzzy.

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

James, I would suggest getting a readout of the codes. Inactive codes may help with pinpointing the issues. Thanks for sharing.

[@boom192channel]

Awesome video, thank you for making this. I am dealing with a hard start condition. I have replaced the top front check valve and my Davco check valve. All fuel tank vent tubes are good. Do you recommend replace check valve on fuel filter housing or replace entire housing? Also, what about the o ring in the allen wrenched plug behind the hand pump primer?

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Are you sure you don’t have an internal leak? Also have you checked for external leaks? Can you see rail pressure at start up?

[@boom192channel]

@@TATEXPRESSINC I don't have any bubbles in fuel tank from return line. How do I check for external leak? How do I see fuel rail pressure at start up? When I park it front facing down hill, it takes a few days for hard start to show up and only takes about ten pumps on the primer. When I park it front facing uphill, it happens over night and it takes a really long while to get it primed. After I replaced the front top check valve it started fine for 2 weeks, then I had it serviced and the mechanic who did my PM put my filter on way too tight and it was terrible getting it started until I put a new filter on it.

[@mikedilorenzo7884]

2016 volvo d13, just put new batteries in thinking that was the starting issue, but it still is almost like almost dead batteries, turn the key and it acts like its trying then doesnt, then after about 4 turns of the key, it turns right over. I'm thinking starter is going bad, but I dont know where it is on the d13. can you do a video or pictures zoomed out and then somewhat in close so that I can see its location? Thanks in advance

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Could be starter. Be sure to check connection are tight

[@LifeTrucking]

2016 Volvo D13 Over 630k miles The “red stop” keeps popping up on the dash and coolant spraying everywhere and completely lost all the coolant. 3 times I’ve had something done with the coolant lines in the past three months. I just had it repaired three weeks ago and here comes the light again. What gives?
