  1. No problem at all.. I loose a shade amount of engine brake I think but I never noticed much of a difference.
  2. Well, I pulled it off today (lack of room to remove it forced me to take it off in two parts (3 of 4 bolts snapped off in the exhaust housing when removing the can, but will deal with those Thursday) Soon as I got it off, the shutter pulled right out, Looks like it was snapped off halfway up the rod? (This would account for the problem I had this spring if the shutter moved and got pinned closed temporarily). I have had my epg disabled for the last almost 2 years so the warmup don't concern me too much. I also have been running the egr delete from otr for the last 3 or so years (works great). I am somewhat ok with just using the engine brake only and not the epg brake so I may just make a plate up and delete it for now until I get stateside again for a cheaper rebuild kit on it. I will look for the restrictor as well. I just got it off and had to leave so I never had any time to snoop around it yet. I also finally pulled off the compressor to replace my rusty inspection plugs (found a machine shop that makes them on an as needed basis for a Volvo dealer here). While under there, I am replacing most of the exhaust pipe under the cab (leave it to me to do three projects at one time) lol.
  3. Had an issue with my EPG shutter awhile back and had the shop temp disabled the airline to test it. I was happy with the engine braking (one stage was disabled) and never bothered to fix it. This spring it was stuck again and noticed the baffle was really loose. I was going to get it rebuilt, but has anyone removed it instead and any concerns with doing so? I was thinking of popping the can off and cutting the shutter out to prevent any future restriction. (This would save throwing $1000 into it as the baffle/shutter is bad and they were not sure if the valve was causing the origional problems). Does anyone know if I will have any future problems by cutting this out? Thanks! Jason
  4. Is it a corporate thing with Bucees or up to the manager? We used to go to the new Braunfels one a lot. Now the Volvo is our daily driver.
  5. Still in Kansas but next week heading to New Braunfels TX. Should I stop in and say hi at Buccees?
  6. Currently in Derby KS until after Christmas if the weather cooperates and then maybe Utah before heading to Texas.
  7. Sorry I missed you. Mass y cross paths again next year
  8. That's where we are. Heading to the convention centre now but will touch base later Jason
  9. Campground in north bend Ohio for a few more days then heading to Kansas. Came back from shopping in the rental and two spots over is a red gen1 Volvo with a smart on the back as well. Never saw the owners yet but had SD plates. Hoping I can catch them before I head to a conference tomorrow morning.
