check fuel pressure u need 60 plus pounds at full load to run strong if its an ETEC ! You need 15-20 plus ideally 25 if it has a Robert bosch pump! check fuel tank vent change fuel filters if you find below spec fuel psi !

bottom rad should have a drain either on the bottom rad tube or the rad likley the tube! You only need to drain 5 or so gallons of coolant to do this! I f you haven't changed the coolant in a while wouldn't hurt to change it All ! install new 50 /50 coolant! Probably 14 gals or so!

Year And Model ? E7 comes in a few different configurations! Ahh saw the other post ! No special thoughts other than make sure the vent bebe is at the top!

If I has a check engine light on see what the codes are! What trans does it have?

Nice Find Bro! Can't answer your question either ! But ! I always wondered why the up draft carb was invented and used so much! seemed back in the day up draft was the thing to do!

Yes ! Unfortunately you need to finish what you started Or you could end up in a pickle! You need to post your whole story here just deleting the EGR WILL Not fix It if there is another existing problem! Stuck VGT Etc.

Joe the timing changes by year and model I think ? Its mostly emissions related I think ! I noticed over the years as time went on the timing went up on degree a year for the same HP engine up to 22 Just seemed like it anyway!?

Glenn as you know it will defiantly run fine at at 18 ! Why are you checking it? Are you having issues? I don't have my manual either so I can be precise ! I how ever noticed that over the years the timing changed as the years past for emission reasons I believe ! I seen em set anywhere from 17 -22 !Depending on pumps ambac or robby !

A good parts guy would know to offer the bolts However ......................!

WHAT HE SAID! 😁

Nope they break for some reason likley heat related from the EGR coming into the top! Pro mentions a bulletin check into it I was not aware of the bulletin! The new manifold comes with a new gasket but not the bolts ! in my mind it SHOULD come with new bolts TOO ( A Kit) how ever This is a Volvo owned company they nickel and dime for everything!!😡 I was heavy into vehicle inspection just before my retirement this last Feb I would look for these bolts being missing while checking over all the other functions! Found a fare few! I always looked it was fairly common! So when you buy your new manifold Ask the part guy for bolts cause they likely wont offer them!

if you found a cracked intake you likly already have a broken bolt! is the crack at the front just below were the egr tube enters ? if so look for a missing bolt at the bottom

nope

Exhaust gaskets ? turbo gasket ?Utube gasket (the tube that attaches the egr cooler to the exhaust side egr valve )this little devil is a pain to nail down AND a horses ass to repair! ! If you can catch the truck when its ready to regen this noise will show up during a regen if it is indeed the you tube gasket ! During regen ! while the noise is present pour hot water all over the pipe and joints if the sound changes you have found your issue! Just something to try!

Front mount maybe the question here as , the engine evolves to 4 valve the mounts on the front start to change from trunnion mount to pedestal mounts !It will all depend on the donor engine front mount !Long as both engines have a front steel cover all should fit! as for cabs the rd has unique mounts how ever its all bolts and nuts so I believe this here is doable as well with some swapping ! not sure on the hood you would have to compare them your self see if its doable!

Yup the plastic peices have a tang formed on them! they come in a small bag with various sizes when you by a new tack cable I'm not sure they come separately! you could ask!

Anything is possible try a different filter brand first!

yup spot on

agree hopfully!

Yup Ain't It the truth ! Another Great Volvo IDEA! What Dreams Are made of! If It ain't broke fix it anyway!

80 is a bit High warm cold 80 is ok! should be at 40 or so warmed up!

Check out Volvo Gouge Pricing for this piece I'd be curious how costly it is!

So Your sounding like a Volvo salesman Pro??? What's up with that? 🙃You working on a position higher up in the food chain? All they got to do now is get some decent wire to put in these trucks and they would be perfect! You commented on the trans and clutch adjustments ! in my opinion if they programmed that trans to start out in a lower gear there would be even less issues with clutches! Owell I'm still a doubting Thomas!😅

Yup think its due ! You need to keep an eye on this little guy in dust environments they clog up fast same as the under hood air cleaners once every six months to a year is not uncommon in the summer possibly twice that!

Auz was behind emissions wise by a year or so I beleive CCRS did away with the fuel drain back at the injector The injector had to shoot what it was given!
