You mentioned once before about an “anti-theft” system with a separate plug or key that would not allow the engine to start.

Steve from SoCal Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Somehow I don't think too many Volvo drivers need be concerned about that. Don't see Volvo's with kitty's. The ELD thing has raised the price of pre 2000 trucks though. Maybe the older Volvo's are "hot" somewhere? Naw, could you see any "respectable" outlaw trucker in a VOLVO!!!!

Big5er Posted July 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 That's heartless Steve I'm gonna have to get a male dog and train him to look for YOUR tires before the next rally. Yeah, the ELD thing is making those 99 and older models have some value, but you can't hardly find a pre emissions engine to rebuild down here. Those junkyards are mighty proud of them wrecks.

It's only 300 to 350 hp and can barely get out of it's own way. After I saw your post....I had no idea about all these thefts. Thx Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big5er Posted July 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Ben, I really don't know about specific models but they are stealing trucks all the time here. I don't know if it is my proximity to the border or what. I just know that it is common for drivers that want to sleep in a motel to come back to find their truck gone.

HERO Maker Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 I remember Phil not letting me keep my truck at the local hotel when we overnighted for just one night while passing thru his area!
