Opus Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 Looking for a little advice from the HDT group. I full-timed for ten years with my Volvo 610, but parked it a few years ago and now it’s time to sell. Looks like all the old content has been removed from the ‘For Sale’ section , so there is only one old Volvo listed, a 2001 project truck for $20,000. My truck is a 2001 Volvo 610, with 716,000 miles. I bought it in 2004, and it had 615,000 miles on it. It has a 12.7 L Detroit 60-series engine, rated at 430/470 HP, and an Eaton auto-shift ten-speed. It’s an early auto shift, with the clutch. It has a 3:58 rear axle. It was a basic truck, tandem-bunks, when I bought it and it still has the original seats. I flipped back through the receipts and realized that I replaced a lot of parts over the years: - Front drums replaced when I had it singled at purchase, so they have right at 100,000 miles. - Replaced the clutch and Jake brake at 622,000 miles. The Jake brake was used; new clutch. - Replaced the AC fan motor at 641,000 miles - Had it shortened at 643,000 miles, with drive-line modifications - New muffler and exhaust pipe at 665,000 miles. - Clutch adjustment at 669,000 miles - New turbo and air charger at 701,000 miles. - New water pump at 703,000 miles. - New tie rods and alternator at 711,000 miles. - New radiator at 713,000 miles. - New air bags, tires and batteries this summer. I’m pretty sure that Kenny Doonan redid the entire front end in ’07, when I bought the Teton, but I don’t find the receipt so can’t really be sure exactly what was done. Downsides? - As to be expected, it has blow-by. My Teton was 24,000 pounds and it handled it well. - Body is in fair condition. - Interior is also in fair condition. - My Teton had air over hydraulic brakes, so it doesn’t have a brake controller. - Needs a new mattress. - The hitch is a Reese 30-K model, which tilts, and has 100,000 miles on it. I never got an air hitch; ran with an air pin-box instead. Any ideas on a fair price?

aknavy Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 I'm no expert by any means, but I would say $20-30k. Quote 2001 VNL 660 2018 DRV Fullhouse JX450 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lappir Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 Good luck with the sale, keep us posted. I have had little interest in my "Project" truck. It will sell some day, but who knows when that day will come. I'm at the National HDT Rally so I hope to get some ideas on what's keeping people from looking, other than it's 22 years old.

jenandjon Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 I would ask 30 and go from there. But those miles are dangerously close to overhaul territory on a 60 series.
