don't be fooled, the only engines they have over there that are worth a damn are made by Scania. Volvo is garbage everywhere in the world
Tell that to my dad who has 2.2 million on a Volvo d12b. The head has never been off. Junk I tell Ya!

It was 800 something. Thank you
The 870s aren't as controllable. This is an 871. Most, and I mean most problems seem to com from poor tuning. This has survived quite well with 100k+ loads, but I'm also the only driver. I surely would castrate it if someone else was running it
Earlier we didnt have EGR, now all engines should be same all around the world. Except we have higher hp versions for some reason. Maybe for conventionals worse cooling capacity ?There has to be something different to your volvox across the pond. I swear all of the ones I know of had sleeve issues like you stated, but also emissions, injector, electrical, multiple water pump failures. Ect. We went to the 6 dd powered trucks because the Volvo powered ones were soo problematic. I'm not saying they can't be good, just that these ones didn't seem to be. (2008-2012 vintage). I believe you totally that you feel your engines are superior, and maybe what you guys have over there is great. But with 6 in a fleet of 70, 1 was down at all times. I wonder if maybe your euro spec cal is different enough that it causes fewer issues???
Yea run your mouth about the guy that isn’t here... that has more knowledge in his phuckin change drawer than you have in your whole head. Idiot

I won't argue that the stock acerts had their issues, but the ISuX and paccar eurotrash have guys longing for the good old days of 3.8 mpg. Also, the reason you see more questions about cats is because there's more of them still out there and the guys that own them do their own maintenance. It's weird that cat hasn't made an on highway engine in 10 years and people are still going out of their way to put them in new trucks.

Lol. I've found lots of stuff on how to put a cat in place of a cummins/detroit/paccar but nothing going the other way. I wonder why?funny how you never see guys swapping a Volvo into a hood truck as great as the two nutswingers make them sound. but those cat engines are so schitty there's guys willing to go all the way back to a 40pin ECM just to have a reliable ride. hmmmmmm

why would anyone swap a junk C18 in place of that marvel of cummins engineering known as a CM2250? /sarcasm
Believe me. For the most part i like an isx. Just not a 2250/2350
