in my eyes this is much more than just a cummins forum... there is such a plethra of knowledge to be had on here on all sorts of topics...

i know its not ideal to go to a volvo but i can get the software for that engine the PTT one and be able to do most of the stuff that it would need myself being its a 2007 and is fairly straight forward...

i have read all of the bad thing on that engine but i was looking at the dates of the posts and they all stop around 2010 or so...

that is when volvo started getting them straight...

they earned a terrible rep and rightfully so with all the problems they had...

the people that i have talked to that actually own the engine till this day all say the same thing... they love it it was hell till volvo got it striaght but and hardly any issues since...

they all told me get the invoice for the inframe and make sure all the updated parts were used...

they used this engine in highway trucks overseas and it was one of the most reliable over there...

when volvo brought it stateside they had to try and make it epa freindly and just screwed the living hell out of it and it took years to fix...

i really dont want another truck and i am not totally decided i have the pros and cons weighing heavy on my mind right now...
