Well bro! Kind of figured if this didn't get resolved this would be your choice ! Even if you do buy a new Pete please keep in touch here, Its real sad it has come down to this !How ever have seen it happen a few times before same deal as the Steeler's post the disputes escalate to this point and the customer walks ! He tells two friends and they tell to friends and so on it's still does not seem to faze them ! Trouble is that they already have spent the cost of new truck chasing a a ghost a possible wiring anomaly sensor wired backwards or something thy didn't see it and now were here! Sad thing is if you were a multi national corporation they would have tossed a new truck at you by now!

Yup your right! Trent ! They are in the shop most of the time keeps em out of accidents! Great safety feature 😂

Not really enough info in this topic here to give a good answer ! Do you have blo by puffing out the fill tube or vent while running! Is the engine firing on all cylinders ! when you changed the head which ports were wet maybe you have a bad injector! give us a few more clues may be able assist you better!

Not too many things sound as good as a V8 pulling hard in my opinion, Love the sound! I've said it before I wish Scania had stepped up to the plate when Mack was floundering instead of these Volvo turds! OH well its done now as has been said before they are creating job security for the next generation till they run off all the customers!😥

Sorry MRS got carried away🤔

These used to have issues with fan hub bearings packing up on the AI engines due to the extra heat when the truck was first introduced! is it possible the hub bearings a toast! just throwing that out there! Also the crank Damper is a possible as mentioned however never seen one fail out of the blue before! fan hub bearings make a whining noise when standing in front of the truck!

There is one simple thing to check before you go ripping the pump off for repair ask Rob has stated! Check to be sure the throttle lever isn't worn at the spring in the lever its self! this being worn can cause issues at idle as well just something cheap and easy to check before going all out! Just something else to look for!

Replace the tensioner also be sure your Ac unit is not giving you greif could be causing issues

This statement is so true ! the money made today. Is the same money that was made back then with all the higher costs of rigs fuel and other expenses!I have been in truck repair my whole life and watched as the most powerful group of people fight and scramble to race each other to the bottom . Had they stuck together they could have made a good living! Think about it ! everything moves by truck if the trucks stop rolling no body eats! pretty decent Lever from my way of thinking!

Remove the pump measure the roller width and confirm with the vendor! would be my suggestion! the wide roller will work on the narrow cam but not the other way! The difference is may 1/6 of an inch how ever just enough to wreck stuff!

You need to be careful with these in some of the older older pumps the roller width is narrow if u get the wrong pump with the narrow roller and use it on a wide cam u can ruin the pump! I hesitate to make any comment other than that!

Bro In my opinion, you can chase this for ever! If the truck is pulling well and not throwing codes just ignore the idle situation ! It could be any number of things ! It may even be the ECM tring to compensate for a minor compression issue! Just be happy your driving a RELIABLE somewhat old school truck and not a new one! Again Just my opinion !

That goes without saying in my opinion ! they needed to stick with building sewing machines and power saws .

45 seconds seems to long for ebv tops fifteen seconds! watch the oil pressure gauge if preasure comes up and the engine shuts down and this coincides with the shut down it’s likely the ebv ! If not look elsewhere. Oil pressure sensor/ oil level sensor / overheat sensor low water level bla bla bla. unfortunately the dpf covers up anything you used to be able to see or hear on a real engine!!

Milkman! If I under stand it correctly ! with no egr if the fuel/and timing are not dialed back properly the heat in the cyls exceeds what the engine can tolerate ! It can burn up pistons crack heads bla bla bla ! recently I have seen several ISX engines heads cracked and ruined due to this delete And no alteration of the ecu! One needs to research who you are dealing with when doing a delete! We have guys that have successfully deleted here but the tune was altered to suit!This is all well and good till big bro starts enforcing the emission laws then were going to have issues! Also The down side is you now have no dealer support when it come to repair! your on your own ! Just Sayin! However you have the advantage of less break down due to emission related issues!And that CAN be A big Bonus if you don't get thrown under the the bus wheels!😉

May have been a coincidence! who knows maybe Try a stat! Log as the temp is in the safe range should be ok! one thing for sure getting dealer help is out for ya now!

Yup Volvo couldn't organize a shit fight!

who did your delete you need to consult them

yup should be either on the damper or on fly wheel

The engine is designed to have exhaust gas in the cyl this cools the burn! You have now removed that and if the tune wasn't compensated for this it Is going to run hotter with clean air going into the cyl ! just sayin!

What procedure are you currently using????

Correct The truck will pick up on an ecu mismatch! I agree the guy needed to test out his work! Not achieving the torque of even a 425 1450- 1850

This here is some decent info thanks for posting it ! Having said that this here statement says a lot ( I was able to pull much harder on inclines and the boost gauge was getting up to 40psi) 40 psi is a good boost number ! If you are maintaining that on the pull or close to that, IN my opinion your getting most of what you paided for! I for one would like to know what part of the program he was able to gain access to set the fuel numbers portions of the perimeters ! they are are usually only accessed by headquarters and u usually have to pay to get it! So if anyone here has that knowledge please pipe up! 👍

I'm just going to throw this out there did you keep the injectors in the same holes when reassembly took place ! Each injector has a trim code! if you didn't you might try gathering all the trim codes up and reinputing them in the the software in the right order including the new one see if it changes the situation! The ecu may be tring to compensate for a miss match! or cylinder imbalance! just soming to think on!

18 years and counting! Having said that we have a Volvo loader at the shop at the moment just put cups in that puppy Not even a 400 hp engine ! this issue isn't just confined to Trucks ! Just an over all Volvo trash issue! (we got it passed the warranty were AHH good enough! ) like earlier stated job security for us guys and ongoing parts sales for THE BIG V! keeps the economy going!
