  1. I am looking for a computer for my Eaton Autoshift 2. The part number Eaton gave me is K-4194RX. Or, if anyone knows of a company that will rebuild mine i would appreciate it. Thanks, Brian.
  2. I tried all my local locksmiths with no luck. Ended up having to go to the dealer. They had to order it. It will be cut at the factory by my vin and shipped to the dealer.
  3. I have a 2001 Volvo 660. My son lost my keys yesterday and I'm down to my spare. My question is does anyone know a place other than the dealer who can cut a replacement key and are the keys programmed in this year truck? The key is a sidewinder key. Thanks
  4. Where could I purchase a regular valve at?
  5. So to activate full braking pressure I need to engage the red knob? Can this be done since the gladhands have been removed from the truck? Would the braking be noticeably better?
  6. I am using the dash knows the same as I allways have. What do you mean by bobtail mode? All I have ever done was release the parking brake and drive. The trailer supply knob is used to supply air for a bed lift for loading a smart car. I have only used it a few times to lift the bed to clean under it. All I have ever done when bobtail or towing is release the parking brake.
  7. No, I'm in South Alabama, currently 77° out.
  8. Just went and started the truck again. Now, when the service brakes are applied with engine running pressure is dropping to around 100 psi.
  9. When the service brakes are applied my air pressure stays at 120 psi per the dash gauges. I just checked the adjustment last week. I don't hear any audible leaks when the brakes are applied. I was laying under the truck while my son applied and released the brakes with the truck off.
  10. My 2001 Volvo service brakes have recently started to not hold at stops. When I stop at a stop sign, red light, etc with normal brake pedal application the truck will sometimes start to roll either forward or backwards depending on the incline I'm on. If I mash the brake pedal it will stop and hold. I've been driving this truck for 3 1/2 years and its only recently started doing this. I've checked all the brakes and the lining is still good, slack adjusters are self adjusting but I did check and they are correctly adjusted. The parking brake holds good. Only the service brakes. Any ideas on what to check next? Thanks
  11. I've been pulling a 46 foot fifth wheel with the volvo for over 3 years. Been pulling big trucks and trailers for over 20. Have had a class a cdl for 15 years. Have tons of experience just not in the northwest in winter. I grew up driving in Pennsylvania and West Virginia so I'm used to winter driving and hills, not mountains. I have no reason to believe its a scam, I've been buying and selling big items for years and have done my due diligence. My biggest concern is just getting the rv picked up before the end of March. I have contacted a few transport companies but they all want between $3.50 and $5.00 per mile. That's a hard pill to swallow when I can do it myself for about $2000 round trip for fuel.
  12. The owner said he would be willing to hold the rv until the end of March. Would the weather be any better that time of year? Thanks
  13. Not quite sure how to do that. The sellers are military and are leaving the country. As of now, they have no way to move the rv. Do they use salt on the roads in that part of the country? I'm originally from the northeast rustbelt and I'm very familiar with salt and rusted out vehicles. I've always been told they don't treat the roads with salt out west.
  14. Well, I found a fifth wheel i am wanting to buy but the problem is it is located in Bozeman, Montana. I am in Gulf Shores, AL. I've never been to Montana or the Northwest in general. I will be driving my 2001 Volvo 660 singled with an open diff. Any pointers on ways to go? Do I need chains, tire socks, etc? I have no idea what is legally required or a must have to make the trip. I have looked into having it transported but the cost is ridiculously high. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
