Got a another Volvo but with a D12

[Evotrucker]

I think the hardest part out of everything was painting the frame, I bought a lot of POR 15 and used a wire wheel to clean up and knock of as much rust as possible. I also used the top coat from POR15.

Oil pan gasket needed to be replaced, so that was a dirty dirty dirty job to say the least. Luckily I’ve got to know a lot of master mechanics that have worked at Volvo for years so they have helped me out tremendously on this journey.

The truck came with a so so APU, which needs to get replaced or looked at by someone who knows more about these APUs then I do.

The 3-4 months that I had it and that I was working with it’s been pretty damn solid. Even with its issues with compression on one cyc or two. I’ve had 2 mechanics look at the issue and they are just telling me to keep driving, since the motor sounds perfectly fine for it’s miles. Everything I’ve learned from here with my cummins I’ve been doing on this volvo. It’s been serving me well! I just want to thank everyone for guiding me and helping me along.

I’ve still got my Volvo with the cummins, I’m having a hard time letting it go. After everything I’ve done to it and been threw with it, I just might rebuild the motor down at haggie shop in a year or two and give the truck to my younger brother. I’ll at least know that he will have a better truck then I did starting out.
