yup they want to may money how ever! you also get a so a solid outcome with a warranty ( for what its worth ) for your extra zillion dollars! Again the truck is close to the end of its DESIGNED life span ! 2004- 2010 . 10 years . 2010- 2018 5 year life span! 👿

with set resume the switches!

Well in one small defense of the the guy/s that did the job I have had and personally seen where after a cam job several times where the engines had an erratic surge or pulse at idle and could find no reason for it a variance of 25 -50 rpm with in a few seconds @5 second intervals very annoying how ever the engine ran fine otherwise! The only thing that was replaced was the cam and lifters which would lead one to believe it has some thing to due with the cam grind! just saying! How ever none proven! Like I said I AM Tapped Check the Snap-on truck see if the back ordered magic wands have come in yet !☹️

yup agree bottom end on these is not to bad its the heads and all the bolt ons that have the issues!

Also you will note that you have a slight puffing coming from that fill tube indicates to me you have a cyl not sealing well, crack some fuel lines and see if you can change the demeanor of that puff ! If you have the rigging to do a cyl cut out test with the mack software . Just a thought!

This post is so dam long I don't want to read thru the whole thing so I will ask this and sorry if you posted it already have all the injectors been removed check and tested ! you mentioned the Eups had been done,were all the cal codes installed on the off chance this could make a difference!

I'm tapped out I'm now just hoping for some one to pull a rabbit out of the hat for ya! the good ole AHA moment would be nice about now!

My god bro don't even go there ! Find a truck with the proper trans in it for the job, way to labor intensive, not impossible but ,also monetarily not worth it! you would be throwing bags of money at a mediocre project! My opinion

So your cap outcome???what did ya see!

Come on Pro your just sore cause you drew the short straw on the gray vs red engine job admit IT! Seriously we used to sell Hino Very reliable and so on How ever They leaned how to price parts from the Volvo Guys! I ts industry wide I suppose !

I like IT! Get rid of the piece of crap bolted to the back of the turbo And now you got an EGR Valve that's easily accessible you can actually see what your working on Beauty ! Oh you say you can only buy it with the crap behind the turbo? Dam!

Check fan the hub just cause it’s turning don’t mean it’s working

Oh ya that’s the plan the pan sensor( level ) as well all sensors are dollar store quality on most new HD vehicles specially volvo .

FOR NOW? You can repair it anytime you like / but it will never be fixed , with out Volvo admitting that they have a problem with these heads and actually Doing a TOTAL redesign of the head this will be an ongoing issue . they seem to like beating YOUR head against the wall ! AND after all, after Warranty ! Comes YOU PAY and that's what Makes EM happy! AND why build something dependable , you can't make any money that way! 👿

JUST MY OPINION! If the truck is not under warranty it seems pointless to change the ECU unless your still having grief with it throwing codes just hose out the connector a couple of times and resemble it and see what happens! Its and extra 1000- 2000 bucks that you won't have to give TO THE VOLVO TRASH PEOPLE! We have done this dozens of times with good success rate!

Sorry MT I Don't qualify on that one!

They got as far as casting there name in the block anyway! Now with the exception of the external parts Volvo is etched into all the internal rubbish!

Your bro there is the lucky one ! You drew the short straw for sure!( If I were to " like any of them" ) I would say the MP8 Design over MP7 MP10 for less "complication" THE lesser of 3 Evils! can't comment on the CR yet had the valve cover off only one for a sensor change!

Its unfortunate how ever These engines has moved forward or backward which ever way you want to view it with out first addressing the original issues injector cup to injector seal ECT they seem to have accepted this situation as OK for what ever reason OK is good enough for Volvo! So now LETS ADD INSULT TO INJURY. Put more shit under the valve cover on an already compromised set up! Just shows you what the mind set of the management is really like in Volvo land and what kind of a company it really is! KScarbel has been preaching this since the the Volvo thrashers took the brand over and I had similar thoughts as well ! However they are creating work for people and in more that one way . by building and adding to an inferior unit adds more work for us guys that have to deal with the crap !Unfortunately, we can make it work again for awhile But it will never be fixed! Inspiration for a song Hotel VOLVO TRASH!😀 ( we can make it work again ,but it will never be fixed!)🤣

Well that’s predictable ! We haven’t had a lick of problems so far however we only got a few running here so far! Nice heads up thou ! all low kms so far!

An observation ! There is a spacer under the valve cover with two wiring harnesses entering mid way LH side of the engine on a common rail engine just above the ecu.

compression in the fuel usually!

Was there any timing codes ?
