I love that bow tie. I have always wanted one for my FLC.

This is a nice classy little Pete!

Yea whatever. Don’t see anything for Leiffi’s Volvo. How you supposed to class up the container yards without a visor or a giant VOLVO decal?

Volvo only provides 2 standard, if you really want to stand out in the port you need extras.

Thoughts on a c12 with a 13sp. Truck has about 800k on it. It's an 02 FLD112 with a feedbody on it, max weight would be around 58k. Mostly looking for info or thoughts on the c12. Good, bad, so so? Thanks

2KS are Running mfer’s with a turbo/tune. The older 9NS were limited. Cams would flake and If no one has put one in it for a while I guarantee you it’s junk. One we had ran awesome and didn’t have any issues other than the cam when we bought it and rear gear plate was cracked and leaked oil but would embarrass a big block motor. Like most small diesels they cost more to fix than the larger ones.

By tune you mean more than a fuel wire. Have a guy haul in product to us with a T800 with the same drivetrain. I think he got 1.2 out of it before his first motor rebuild. He had to just do it again after several years and it cost him around 30k. Sad part is the the truck isn't worth it and he probably won't outlast the truck he is so old.

What is the general consensus on aluminum fifth wheel plates vs the standard steel ones?

Speaking about the ones casted by Alcoa for Holland...

Not really sure, it was a tractor when it was new and I’m almost certain the winch has been on there since then.

It’s Canadian built truck so I’m guessing even then it was oil field work, heavy single frame, 48K rears and 14 or 16K front axle.

Same ratings as the steel plate but looks much better polished. I have no complaints and would buy another. I use zero grease on any part of it, plate or pin. Several friends have them also on trucks and trailers (b-train)

Not ideal if someone is dropping and hooking.
