So I have a new truck (to me) at work. Garbage dude, 2001 Volvo xpediator curbtender with a 275hp d7e/ Allison 5spd. Issue is that it feels like "torque management" is taking over in 1st and 2nd gear. The thing just won't move. Around 1800 in second gear it goes and goes good. I say around because I don't have a tach on the right dash. So the big issue is that the compactor is trying to cycle in about the same rpm range before the pto kicks out, so I go no where. Shut off the pto helps, but even with all power draining accessories off I have to roll to the bottom of a hill to make it to the top if I've had to stop midway.
Now the twists. It gets worse as the ambient temperature goes up, Sometimes into 3rd gear. Sometimes I have dead pedal, usually a shut down fixes that. And last the sister truck bought at the same time had the same issues. No excessive fueling, just alittle dirty when waiting for it to go. I'll take some video in the morning and post it. Thanks!
