  1. I had same issue on my Volvo 670, darn thing shut down a number of times when I first owned it. Tag on the top of the reservoir says "Fill to Brim". Hard corners were setting off the low level alarm and shut the truck down.

    Diesel Gel Issues

    Forgot to add anti gel fluid to my Diesel yesterday when stopped overnight in Raton, NM temps were just below zero. Truck started fine (plugged in) but would not go above 1500 rpm; luckily I had a bottle of 911 anti gel with me and only had 65 gallons of fuel in the tank so I added the entire contents plus 1/2 can of Sea Foam. It took over a 100 miles for the issue to clear out since the temps were averaging 15 to 20 degrees. While this was happening I noticed my coolant temp would not rise above 113 degrees. When the issue went away the temp went back to normal. Did this gelling issue do any damage to my nearly new fuel filters; should I replace them.
  3. I am using a product called Max Mileage from Pittsburgh Power. One gallon treats 3000 gallons, this is a catalyst so exact measurement is required. I have EGR only and it appears to be working.
  4. We had a good trip visiting old friends and making new ones. Stopped off in Green Valley to see my parents and have got 3 loads of laundry done. Some fun football games to watch and nice weather. I could do this trip again.
  5. Volvo doors come apart pretty easy, you might replace the speaker while in there. I had lock issues as well, Volvo sells lots of these parts. Plastic if I remember correctly.
  6. Just did glass last week for $280.
  7. Lyntons are close, in Bouse doing an SxS ride that did not end well. CV axle started grinding but we got it back to Bouse RV Park going 8 mph. See all Sunday after Church.
  8. Hey All, I have one Arizona Off Highway Decal now available as a result of my ATV motor has Covid (blow up). Any offers accepted will arrive in Q with the group on Jan 22 or 23rd latest..... These are not tied to a VIN. Dennis
  9. Rick, what site #? We got 16.
  10. Just registered and got a campsite by the lake. Have HDT, wife and 2 dogs will travel. This looks like a fun and educational event.
  11. Dave, count Sheri and Dennis in for Jan 22nd we are stopping into Bouse, Az to see friends at a RV park. @Chad Heiser have ordered the AZ OHV tags for our ATV's. Can we ride ATV's to the Big Tent and not ride on any paved roads? My units are not street legal. Dennis
  12. Rick while the bed is off have you weighed the truck without bed and then do you plan to weigh it again to see overall weights and effect on front axle? Both of your readers would be interested. Looks so very nice. Dennis
  13. My T fitting behind driver seat is leaking. Located under the floor mat and supplies air to the passenger seat. Had to cut slots in matt in order to gain access. My whisper device found the large leak. Thanks Parformance for letting me use your tool.
  14. Nice truck and it is loaded.
  15. I am getting quotes in Denver for getting my Volvo 670 hood and top painted. Hail damage and clear coat popped off. Attempting to get it done prior to Quartzside Jan 22. Got any good recommendations?
  16. I just borrowed a whisper yesterday from Doug a member. Need to purchase couplers and hose. Where do you guys get parts from? Not holding air for very long.
  17. I purchase my oil from Walmart and told them I was bringing them the dead oil. No problem as long as they know it did not come from a shop. I pumped the old oil back into gallon jugs.
  18. How much was the windshield, I need one.
  19. Consider putting off the hdt purchase a year until prices come back down.
  20. Welcome Texas you landed with a group of folks having many years of HDT experience. Next week I head to the Hutch KS Rally maybe I can share some of the materials with you. My truck was converted by myself over the past 4 years while I have enjoyed the work it is tough and mine is set up as a bumper pull Volvo 670 see link below in signature. In the future we do want a 5er so will have to decide to cut down the frame rails or sell truck most likely already converted to singled. Keep asking others questions and write down the pro's and con's of what you plan. Texas has some good bed building shops as does KS.
  21. I missed one important item that Volvo did recently. Noteven I think my project list is about done..... Will you please post a picture of the front hub caps. Had Volvo do a smoke test, they sealed the turbo and replaced one of the hoses; beats doing it on the side of the road. (June 6th) Today installed the new oil dip stick: 20 minutes easy expensive $187 Changed the right side fuel filter and the antifreeze filter
  22. I have been busy: (check out #6 if old and cracked you could have a bad day) Installed new muffler Installed storage locking box behind right fuel tank (44" x 22") aluminum. @Brad & Jacolyn Wired up LED lights to nice switch box for outside, storage lights and inside main storage Polished aluminum wheels (80%) New rear leveling valve New rear leveling valve arm (check yours old ones are plastic and crack) $45 6 new tires $$ Ordered new oil dip stick; need to install $180 Greased the truck every last one of them Fixed two RV sky lights (hail damage) New Seats (Seats.com) Air dryer replaced Now we are ready for the Rally
  23. Had to read this one; only owned the 10 speed Eaton Fuller manual the truck was the perfect find in great shape and such low miles. Other than being on I-70 on a Sunday night moving 5 miles an hour I enjoy the shifting. Would have done the 13 speed if I could have, this one can not be converted. Float On
  24. Getting things packed, registered some time ago Steve you do have my details? Hope so Dennis Lynton All good did reg on 6/3/21 order 1551 Looking forward to seeing everyone.
