Cheap and Easy.
That would be correct, so disappointing it being a long hood and then having that POS under the hood.
Truckers, lets see your rigs!

Ha, that ain’t happening! I was tickled to find it with the correct amount of breathers, stacks, and with the battery boxes and tanks in the correct locations.

When I see something like that, 20 seconds with a wire cutter makes me feel a lot better.
Then 3 hours to rewire, heat shrink, loom, and secure everything......

Leiffi RigWrench suggested these guys must be filling the washer fluid since Volvo’s don’t break. You suppose he’s right, or do you have to open the hood to vent the excess HP every once In a while?
I'm pretty sure that stinky mo fo just delivered our tools up here in Canada. Same rig, everything. Day late, probably because that POS Volvo broke down.

One of my drivers call last Thursday late afternoon, saying there's coolant blowing on his windshield...
?
Route him in Friday, put him in a spare then rip his truck down yesterday afternoon. While the rings and liners look good, the block wasn't properly addressed during the last overhaul looks like and, what im assuming is their ignorance, is rearing its ugly head.
#6 liner dropped, blowing the HG and started pressurizing the coolant system.

My place sits about 100 yards off the road. It’s funny how many people have asked me what year my “Kenworth” is. Even funnier is to watch their face when I tell em it’s a Freightliner. LOL

How did the liner drop? Was the surface not prepared properly and the liner protrusion wasn't correct?

The last pic on my post is of the deck surface at #6. You can see the erosion where the liner sets on the block, letting the liner sink.
I didn't get any rebuild paperwork on this truck but the parts look relatively newish, im confident the block needed cut during the last overhaul.

When they do a counter bore in the block, do you order liners with thicker lips at the top?

No sir, liners are all the same. There are selectable shims that go in the groove cut to set protrusion.

I guarantee that yours messes with people. Don’t see many FLC’s, (at least not around here), and most of them are ragged out. That’s a great looking FLC. Do you work it any, or is it more of a toy?

Thanks for the info. I'm wanting a truck with a 3406 in it pretty bad. Just a toy though.
