I picked up my unit this past week. Made a stop at the Meremac caverns in MO. What fun. 2006 United Spec. 24'box on Volvo VNL 420/Cummins ISX 475/1650/freedom 12. 1) no need for more power. 2) quiet, and smooth.. esp. with the air ride seats. 3) 10k diesel APU keeps the two AC'c running full...

BTW... where would I get an air dam for the volvo chassis?

My wife bought a new GMC/4500 with crewcab "pickup" with 5th wheel to tow her 32' horse trailer with living quarters. It needs some more power on grades. Any suggestions regarding electronic plug-in units that are supposed to regulate fuel flow and such? The Banks unit is about $800.00. Any...

My motorhome a 1994 Monaco Dynasty (34') Was destroyed in a fire. The 8.3L cummins and allison 6 speed world transmission have about 36,000 miles on them. I put a Banks turbocharger on this rig as well. Any thoughts on the best place to sell these? the motor had 300hp and I don't recall the...

OK. disregard previous post please. I found the information on this 12sp automated transmission. I just had the name a bit off. I looking at the VIN the local dealer told me that the tranny was listed as a rockwell.. but, I found the build sheet and said it was a Arvin-Meritor ZF. BTW...

Does anyone have a link to information on the Rockwell "freedom 12" transmission. Thanks.. Mordy

James: I was thinking about this engine/chassis selection. It was over nine months ago. Now that I am thinking about it somemore... Perhaps the issue was that I wanted more brake horsepower to slow the rig AND stacker trailer. This was why I decided to go to a class 8 chassis from the...

I did ask if I could get another Motor... A CAT would have been just fine. A dealer said that was not an option on the Frieghtliner ....Why did they not tell me? Yet, independant of the motor, I spoke to two pro-long haulers on one local truck driver. They informed me that they had they...

I should add... that I was seriously underwhelmed by the MBZ motor. Specifically, the Local Frieghtliner dealer (salespersons and mechanics) warning me in advance. I chose the volvo only becuase I could then choose a motor other than the Mercedez.

Volvo chassis are ?hard to get. Perhaps demand is high and production is low? Although looking at the Truck paper there are plenty to go around. no photos yet. unable to disclose dealer until after I collect the unit. Can't wait to feel the torque though.

greetings... My volvo VNL430 cummins isx was just completed as well. I am going to pick it up in a couple of weeks. I placed the order 9 months ago. I have had a class A (Monaco) motor home previously... problem was always getting the rig to handle the trailer appropriately....i.e. stopping...
