Bingo! Anything DDEC 3-5 is fine, don't buy a DDEC6 on a bet. Rear gear train, perfect for a COE not for anthing with a hood. Air compressor is above the starter which on just about any truck currently available with a Detroit requires a search party to find. Cam's are hollow tubes with lobes pressed on, real POS.If you are going to get a tune, it won't matter much.

I can't think of a better use for a volvo than using them all for scrap metal. Volvo trucks are junk and so are their engines. I'd take a 6V71 over a Volvo engine.

Easiest way is to refuse to work on anything you can't see all 6cyl. If your dumb enough to buy a truck with the motor under the cab then take it to the dealer.I don't know how you guys are working on x's but I have never had to tear the dog house out of a Volvo. It sucks, you have to turn head bolts 90 with a bar but no need to
Remove anything. Anyone doing anything else is wasting time

I work on for cummins so we do Volvo stuff all the time, they are not that bad really. Pretty easy actually. Now a cascadia. That can go f itself

Well honestly cummins engineers can go the same route as the Cascadia engineers. What kind of tard uses 2 cams that you have to dissemble the whole front of the engine to remove? Can pull the head on a Cat in an hour, 2+ for an ISX. Would it really had been that hard to use bearing caps like Detroit? Or allow head removal with the cam installed like Cat?
I do think that's dumb to be forced to Remove cams, not that bad when you do it often. Hard to argue with the Isx though. Its dominating the market and is still in the business if making over the road engines. I would take it over any current engine in production. How did cat allow you to remove the head with cams in place

Meh. The whole cooling stack comes out pretty quick with an overhead crane. Fan hub off on some applications but upper front cover is easy off. A cap setup would difficult on the ISX though because of the rocker shaft setup.

That's how I see it, the head can be on the bench in like 4 hours from the time the truck roles in the shop
