Finally.......... Also the one thing I would like to point out is, that you can make power on fuel only with no smoke....

Are you just saying this ^ one is for sale or the one the thread is about is for sale? Because this thread is about a volvo and your link is to a Freightliner

The one in the link. The size matters truck.

I dont think the one in the thread is ready to sell when hes still testing and getting sponsors.

Awsome build, keep up the work.:rockwoot:

Wow, that is just unreal. As a guy who happens to own 2 '05 VNL64T300s (one ISX, one D12)...this is so up my alley it's not even funny. I didn't even know a VT42anything even existed. Not to mention the fact of an Allison in it. I know it's all factory scrap one-off junk, but being that I tried very hard to get a VNL/VT single axle (with a liftable pusher) with an Allison built (Volvo's engineering dept said "NO", LOL), this really piques my interest.

I assume it's a D16, yes? I know they offer a D16-700 across the pond, and I almost bought an early '07 625, but they were just so heavy I couldn't do it (ie: a 16K lb 4x2,,,LOL!). I know the Volvo on-highway engines are tuned down significantly, based on what Penta motors can do. I've only seen one or two instances of Volvo motors/ECUs being played with. It would be pretty neat to learn the ins and outs of the Volvo motor, if a real knowledge base existed outside of the narrow OEM stuff dealers have access to.

Looking forward to what you accomplish next!

Well the trans took a dump after the 4th pass the day the video was shot. Pulled the trans last week and found it sheered the converter to adapter plate bolts off. So lucky for us nothing major, Installing a fresh trans this week with larger bolts...lol Just as a note the old trans was out of a garbage truck that was ran for quite some time in the City of New York. Its all we had at the time...lol
