Wrknrvr Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) Study this picture? Do you see the hole to the right of center. It has a brass insert in it. Connected to a drain tube. But Volvo only put a hole there to drain water from the windshield and roof. So where does that water go. I installed the drain tube to keep the water away from things below. Take a look at your truck to see where the water goes. Edited June 22, 2023 by Wrknrvr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrknrvr Posted June 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) So this photo shows the drain tube from underneath. The end of the tube is pointed towards the outside of the frame. So you can see the rear of the engine. The blue plastic cover over the engine is for a different subject I am testing. As both have contributed to a pain in the ( you know what).

rickeieio Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 It appears that hole would drip right on the front of the starter, where about a zillion wires attach.

Wrknrvr Posted June 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) You are correct. But what is above the starter. Edited June 22, 2023 by Wrknrvr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aknavy Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 It drips right on the starter. I have had an issue starting while snow was melting and draining there. Quickly resolved, but not a great design. Quote 2001 VNL 660 2018 DRV Fullhouse JX450 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrknrvr Posted June 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) If you have Cummins engine in your Volvo truck. The ECM wiring is above the starter wiring. And that hole is above the ECM wiring. Yep it is. Really great design. How do I know this. A rebuilt ECM is to be delivered to me tomorrow. And half of those zillion wires go to and from the ECM. Maybe more. Edited June 22, 2023 by Wrknrvr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
