How to buy a used Volvo D13

In this episode we are shopping for a used D13 and show you how we inspect the truck and what we are looking for when considering adding a semi truck to our small fleet.

[@davidtoomey5892]

Hi Guys great video. I run an International Pro-star. I wish I had someone like Jose with me when I bought mine. Remember the old saying, " A good coat of paint, hides a lot of sins" Keep up the good work.

[@TruckYoo]

Thank you David

[@GabrielGarcia-de6wl]

How is your pro-star doing, what mileage does it has? I am planning to buy one with the Cummins engine but still debating between international or a freightliner. Any advise will be highly appreciated.

[@garydownes1594]

Can you guys make checklist of what you look at when buying these used trucks? Thanks

[@shirtandtiefreak]

Really good content and information on things to look for through the eyes of a mechanic and fleet owner when looking at a newer used truck.

The more I watch your videos the more I’ve been thinking about getting a Volvo, I’m a few weeks away from getting a truck and I’m so confused on what truck to get

[@ericm333]

Where’s your shop location. Thanks for sharing the knowledge

[@dsotojc4645]

Yep.... that leak is the top window seal or rubber. I put silicone around it and no more water.

[@467inc]

What kind of diagnostic tool are you using to check the scr?

[@lakesidefarmer6133]

When you refer to play in the steering shaft is that front to back of the rod or in the left and right turning directions? Great video!

[@thatdieseltech4666]

It had play both on the u joint and the play on the splines of steering shaft.

[@jslade60]

Just seeing this video now at 3 years old and was wondering how much you paid for the trucks since I couldn't find a follow up video?

[@Djsmiley77]

Hi guys, Awesome video. How can you tell that turbo and actuator was swapped?

[@TruckYoo]

Hi DJ! I added this to our list of questions for an upcoming Q & A. Great question!

[@funtitledproductions2955]

Love your videos! How do you test for SCR and DPF efficiency? Is that a diagnostic tool I should have? Or should I just ask the diesel tech at a shop to check during pre-purchase inspection? Also, do you recommend always removing valve cover to check the cams/top of the engine before purchasing a truck? Especially if there are not many records? Thank you!

[@TruckYoo]

Hi Funtitled- great questions. I added it these for one of our upcoming Q & A questions podcast.

[@DurangoExpressTrucks]

It’s called Premium Tech Tool

Hi boss, i got a question I have a 2013 Volvo with d13 820k now def deleted still has egr I replaced injectors a year ago . Ever since I replaced the injectors I get a lot of fuel smoke blueish whiteish only at first start up and if I shut it off for 20 min and turn it back on. After warmed up I can’t see the smoke but can smell it. Do you know what it could be ? I can’t get a mechanic to figure out what it is

[@TruckYoo]

Hey Alexander, I added this question to our upcoming Q & A episode.

[@alexandertakele6136]

Thanks boss keep me posted

[@e7bk]

Can I swap D13 engine from 2020 Daycab Auto to sleeper D13 2015-2017 also Automotic?

[@theocollins1750]

If the engines are the same you can.

[@392nightrunner]

Volvo mafia ✌️🤘

[@jdhlogistics2142]

great video... what parts or items do you keep in your trucks? lights belts or anything? I am speaking for a regional or otr truck

[@thatdieseltech4666]

You can get yourself a storage bin from menards that fits under your bed and order with your vin your belts, upper and lower radiator hoses along with cab and bunk heater hoses a few preformed hoses, cac (charge air cooler) hose with 2 clamps, fuel filters, head light bulbs tail lights, glad hands , this way if any breakdowns you can fix it yourself or atleast you can call road service and you know have parts on hand they won’t overcharge on the parts plus charge you for them to drive around and not find the parts in stock.

I had 4 Volvos the 08 d13 730 was the worst mistake of 25 years of trucking stay away from Volvo engines period

[@TruckYoo]

I agree. You had the first generation with the first year of DPF. Everybody had issues. That was the reason I stayed away from D13 for a long time until they figured it out. Thank you for watching

[@romstartransportation5387]

Buy a Volvo with Cummins....Volvo injectors are failing over and over again. Time to get in and out of Volvo shop is ridiculous. You guys are looking for small stuff that could be fix in most of driveways. Trying to claim a warranty ? They gonna find always an excuse to make you pay for repairs.

Soon as you buy that truck the next purchase you need to make is getting a DPF the lady that s*** is junk
