will check again, but everything looks very good. No trans service light, and no errors, I actually ran through the list for any errors and none showing up. -

The truck did originally go in because it wasn't starting at all unless i jumped the solenoid. It will start now, but now dash blanks out, and dash seems to do a total restart now. -

No replies yet from them, this isn't a volvo shop, so unless its something I can pinpoint, they need to research like me. -
I am having some problems with my truck, got it back from the shop and all was well for 68 miles. I stopped 2 miles from my home at the local quickie mart. Got back in the truck and it wouldn't start. Then waited, tried again. no start. Jumped out and jumped the solenoid and it started up for the last 2 miles home. In the driveway I waited and tried it again - no start. Graphic screen goes black. jumped and started up. I finally got it to start up again after jumping the solenoid, and I finally got an error code on the display that stated DIRECTION INDICATOR FRONT. No other errors have popped up, and if I stay on the starter a bit longer it will start up. Just feels like there is something wrong. Also when out to do jump at the solenoid something is buzzing in the engine compartment. Can get a video if that helps. Thanks all

Congratulations! It takes time, but that part of the fun is actually planning and making the plan happen. I have about 6,000 in repairs and tires on my project. I did use it for hauling corn at harvest this year, so it's at least helping cover it own repairs. Discovered a few more things to be fixed, so another $900 this fall. Lights and front cab bushings next year, and then can start on the extras. Good luck on your proeject! Chuck

I have a garmin dezl. I like it very much. I use it in the truck and also in my car. Its very handy for finding hotels quickly, and dining options as well while traveling. Most of my travels are now between South Dakota and Virginia, and the Dezl garmin has been very good so far. And it's easy to jump from one vehicle size to another without issues.

28x72" for ours, and also discovered no you cant get a real mattress on it, at least not the older style with solid firm edges. So getting memory foam mattress topper. Reference information for anyone that may need it.

Does anyone have the dimensions for the upper bunk mattress for a 2007 Volvo 670? Thank you

I have to admit I cheated, I found someone who really loves working on trucks. He built angle frames for the 5th wheel so its easily removable with just 4 bolts, since the truck is still needed to be used with a commercial hitch for hauling hay, and installed rear and front shocks all for just 523. I thought it was a decent deal.

Ok, I figured before I really get going in the truck and ripping it apart I would start on an easy to work on project. Nice cargo trailer, use some of that reflectix bubble insulation for the roof. Well now I have the issue of the tape sticking to the insulation but not to the metal of the roof. Does anyone have any suggestions for what tape to use? It is a painted metal surface, I figured the tape would stick to anything but evidently doesn't like painted metal surfaces since all but one of 21 pieces fell down off the roof. Open to any good brand recommendations!

Trying to decide what to do in the future for seats, and maybe give everyone else an idea as well. Of what is nice and maybe not so nice...

So second year of hauling hay and fixed several air leaks, but my truck feels like I am going 4 wheeling over rocks without and with hauling a trailer on as well. Before I start pulling out garbage sacks of money to work on this issue, does anyone have pointers on what to look out for? I am getting tired of bouncing like a pea in a tin can, and DW has worse issues since she is well endowed. If I am going to get her talked into going on ANY trips I have to get this problem fixed. Thanks everyone!

Hmm .. Ok, Looks like get to crawl under, will wait until it warms up a bit.

I have 2007 Volvo 670 last run I was on the wipers worked fine, but the washer pump has quit. Will be checking fuses, but I didn't see one for the washer fluid, only for the wiper motor itself. Any suggestions before I start randomly pulling and testing fuses? Is there another area other than middle of the top of the dash fuse panel? Thanks in advance.
-
New tires on the truck, hauled and unloaded hay. Wife was impressed with the ride after new tires were installed all the way around, replaced a bad cab bag. Good run for the trip to Flandreau, but on the way home the washer fluid pump died, so something else to add to the list. Good luck on the projects everyone! Staying isolated, and getting projects done! WIN and WIN!

Ok, I am looking for something to record, and has decent video for backing up to hitch as well. My wife was riding with me one day and saw some of the special stupid that is occurring on the highways now, her comment was get something set up to record before we go anywhere.
-
What are you looking at for a cab cam system? Are you recording? I am looking at adding some additional insulation to get things a bit more quiet during travels, it's ok now, but would like to dampen the noise levels down a bit more, I figured since I am ripping things up now anyway, it's the right time to do it.
-
Yes, mine is doing a bit of work now, but eventually it will be pulling a trailer. It does sound like we'll be doing a lot of the same work, we get up to 35 this weekend. Truck goes into shop for a new windshield next week Wednesday, hated seeing that new crack show up after warming it up last week. But it was working hard this summer hauling hay to the farm for winter. Just part of the price of business, hopefully I will be able to write it off.
-
2020 a new year and time to continue projects! Will be starting 2020 with a new windshield to be installed next Wednesday. Next month if the temperatures start to warm up, the power inverter will be installed. And finally a jackalopee box will be installed once that is done. 2019 was a fresh set of tires all the way around, and full fluid and filters maintenance.

Most any kind of rock will do so, epecially if it is cold and then 'super heated' with a fire in the center. Even granite will explode, all it takes is a bit of water in any crevice and you have a bomb. I would recommend some good solid pieces of steel instead. if you absolutely need to use rock, make sure to dirt piled up on the inside area of the ring to protect the rocks, you want it about a foot thick, that should help reduce explosions. I'd place sod on the outside to be safe as well.

This is what I had to contend with..

thanks everyone for the word of wisdom, Yes it looks like it may just be time to get some 'jewelry' for the truck. Being in South Dakota, and wife still working FT, it means snow is just a going to be a way of life for a while. I have cattle as well and this isn't just an RV truck, it still hauls several truckloads of hay, and farm equipment. So it seems it is time to get a few more items for the truck, some decent fenders for drive wheels and some good chains for it as well. Thanks all, Chuck

Ok, I have a Volvo 670 we had 17" of snow dumped on us, took front end loader and moved snow for about 5 hours. Wanted to move truck to clean around it and tires just spun. found tow hook but no pins, being on a farm I found something that would work as a pin temporarily. So now i am doubting whether tow hook is right, and I know I definitely need a pin. Does anyone have pictures, and where to buy these items at? It was a long day, and didn't like having my own highway through hell episode just outside the front door of my house trying to pull the truck with the tractor. Tractor didn't like pulling that much and spent a considerable amount of time just spinning on ice. Time to get correct tools for the job, starting with hooks and pins. Thanks, Chuck
