There's a heck of a lot of Volvo and Mack trucks on the road. Their engines aren't a secret.

 

'01 with a Cummins N14, 1.8mm no inframe. Very quiet and smooth riding truck.

Doesn't need any more maintenance than any other truck, pre-emissions that is.

I would never let a truck stop touch any of my trucks. But I do have a new Mack and my local independent truck repair garage has serviced it with no problem. It has the MP8 which I've been told is identical to Volvo's 13 liter engine, just some parameter differences.

 

Getting a Volvo serviced is not a problem a standard pm is no different then any other engine. For repairs usually you will have to find a dealer. There are some local shops that do work on volvos and are very good. Mine is a newer motor and is still under warranty so any work that n dis done is done at the dealer. I haven't had too much trouble getting in a dealer shop although I have herd of people waiting a couple of days. That being said I have also herd of that with other manufacturers

 

ive serviced volvo for years am not factory certified but will tell you i have fixed a ton of problems dealer couldn't find, if you are looking for a truck to be able to fix in a truck stop than none of the new trucks will work for you everything has got very complicated since def was introduced, you will have more problems finding a place to service a dd15 or paccar than you will have volvo, as for parts they go up and down, a lot of electrical but also same in all other trucks nowdays everything is complicated. Unless you look into a pre emission truck so 03 and under everything else get complicated. in my opinion you will not find a safer, easier to drive and also comfortable unless you look at a volvo but the rest is up to you to decide.
