Good idea to check warranty terms when buying big ticket parts. The lowest price isn't always the cheapest.

What if you get it from cummins? Same thing?

No. If it was bought from Cummins they said with original receipt, they would replace then and there. I wanted a Cummins reman, and getting it thru the shop saved me about $400, from what I could have bought it myself for. Volvo's deal is they are not going to be out any money on warranty. They turn into Cummins and if and when they get there money, they refund you. Even though they will tell you when you buy it, that it has 1 year warranty, not the bullshit you gotta go thru to get it. If I can get the truck to Dallas I feel like I can get another turbo without coughing up the cash. But whether it will make it is the next question. I am going to tear it back a part and see how much it has leaked as soon as truck cools down. Have drove it 150 miles so we'll see what it looks like and go from there.

So if you would've gotten it from cummins directly they replace it no questions asked? And you saved yourself 400 for buying it at dealer?

I bought it from a shop that bought it from a Volvo dealer. Yes if it would have come directly from Cummins they would replace then and there. Shop could buy it $400 cheaper than I could. I thought being it was a Cummins reman they were getting it from Cummins, I didn't know it came from Volvo dealer.
