Buying a Volvo D13 Truck. What to look for. Part 2

2016 Volvo D13 - Part 2! One of the most popular questions we get is, "is this a good truck?" or "should I buy it?" The answer is not always straight forward, so join us and learn what our pre-purchase inspection process looks like. We look at a few trucks and decide which shows promise and which ones do not. Buying a semi truck is a process and doing thorough inspections up front is key to keeping you on the road!

Hey what's up guys, first I want to thank you for making this channel, as we know buying a regular vehicle is frustrating imaging buying a truck for beginners may be the hardest thing to do because is such time consuming, any ways I'm very proud for TRUCK YOO for helping all of us finding ourselves in this type of business like any other business has is pros and cons. I want to ask you as everyone here may ask you the same question. What is the most affordable truck for long rides or interstate truck that won't breakdown and is cheap on maintenance. I know much about cars grew up fixing Honda and Acuras and know everything this cars needs when it comes to low maintenance and can suggest when to upgrade certain parts for the cars not to break down.. I'm looking into getting in the TRUCK business and as of now I'm tagging along with few guys working for free to learn knowledge with the pandemic what better timing not doing anything at home than to learn the truck business. I came across to your channel because I have seen VOLVO TRUCKS on the roads as others trucks but Volvo has been the most I like the most better looking on the Outside of the truck looks very nice, but besides nice looking for a comfortable truck and a truck that can be reliable. Are this D13 better in diesel consumption than other Volvos?, what year do you recommend for a new guy like me buying. I'm very devoted to work hard to maybe have enough money to buy better trucks down the line and have better life. I live in NYC relocating to FLORIDA next year. but I really like to learn more and more about he engines and tranny of Volvos I see you look like a success business man who not also making his dreams but willing to go further out there to teach and inform new guys like myself be a better person, business man and have a better future as single or family guy. At the end is up to anyone here to give your best to help make money and move our economy and deliver the goods to those families that have children and need our help to brings those freights on time. this is the time to make money on a wise and responsible manner. Be safe out there my fellow drivers. hunk hard ill see you on the Road some day. be safe and Good Luck. thanks again TRUCK YOO.

[@garydownes1594]

I wish you could explain more as to what you looking at when on the computer analyzing the motor. Thanks. Also , I have a moyse in my truck.

[@marknewell7355]

Are all the volvo tractor units Dh13 engines over there dont get me wrong they are good especially when played with what hp are they running at over there in the states???? Enjoyed this one

[@jonathanh3632]

my 2014 volvo has no option to view codes in the diagnostic menu. Can i use a standard OBDII scan tool to get the codes? Is it possible to change a setting so that I can access all the modules via the diagnostic menu?

[@jonathanbefus9433]

Love the videos, we are a local trucking company in Milwaukee and will definitely add you to the list of service providers to call in Illinois. We're actually looking at some vehicles for our fleet and had a question on the plugin you use to look into the soot levels and such for these trucks. Is this equipment you'd recommend to purchase just for looking into buying trucks and if so what equipment do you use? Thanks for the help and keep up the good content!

[@TruckYoo]

Awesome thank you Jonathan! I'll add your questions to the list for an upcoming video, we get asked this a lot.

[@six-pack1332]

First thing I'd look for is a Peterbilt or Kenworth, maybe even a Freightliner.

[@garydownes1594]

Ok now how about a video on selling a truck when its time to go. Thanks😃🎅

[@MrGash231]

Do you guys sell trucks and what's your website for your trucks?

[@heretodaygone2morrowrving231]

Great Videos! Im really impressed by your knowledge to seek out HDT trucks. Im in uncharted waters when it comes to these. Wondering if you cab give me some tips. Im currently seeking a Volvo 2016 VOLVO VNL64T670 Sleeper with the work station sleeper. I want to convert it and use it to haul my Fifth wheel RV and family so not for hire. I found a volvo and was planning on heading to the seller to check it out and also test drive it. What should I be looking for? Any help you can offer would greatly be appreciated. 507,298 Miles Engine Volvo D13 455HP Fuel Diesel Transmission Auto 12 Spd Spd Axles Tandem Suspension Air Ride Drive 6x4 Wheelbase 218" Wheels Polished Aluminum Front Tires 22,5 Cab Type Raised Roof Sleeper

[@Ethanx98]

Do engine hours matter? I heard people saying they take the hours times it by 55 and it should be close to the miles. Is it true?

[@DivaniKingston]

Yesssss

[@otrookie]

That dude knows his stuff. Does he do side gigs like this to check out a truck for someone for money?

[@oglaredo9565]

Gang Can you see the Service history with the computer plug-in

[@TruckYoo]

Unfortunately not. You can find that info if you know somebody at a dealership. They could look up a vin for you and tell you the service history if it was serviced at a dealer

[@TruckYoo]

"Should I buy this truck?" And "is this a good truck?" are questions that we get flooded with daily. This is part 2 of our semi truck search. Watch what Jose and I are looking for with these used Volvo D13s. We hope this helps all of you that continue to ask us these Pre-Purchase inspection questions. Enjoy!

[@467inc]

Where y'all located and how much do you charge to inspect my truck I'm about to buy from my bossman? I've been driving this truck for about 7 months

[@kellyhoneyfeloncdljourney]

Hello, will you please tell me what kinda work a gear end ratio 3.08 in a 2013 Volvo VNL64T670 is designed for? The truck has a D13 with a 12 speed I-Shift transmission.

[@TruckYoo]

Highway. The lower the ratio the more higway running it’s for

[@kellyhoneyfeloncdljourney]

Thank you sir for your knowledge. I value your content and the way you present it. It is obvious that you create and keep a good work atmosphere, appreciate you sharing with us.

[@jareddollen1113]

Is this at an auction?

[@TruckYoo]

Small dealer

[@josh3960]

Can I have pay to have you guys look at a truck for me

[@AlexD-fq5zm]

Just because you make videos and just because you throw out content does not make them good my wish you would actually talk about the real the real issue what you're looking too often you throw out a video and it's pointless and boring
