    Volvo air brakes

    F.Y.I. My air pressure took forever to get pumped up to less pressure that normal. I found air coming out of the governer (D2 governor from Volvo $17.oo) mounted on top of the compressor.

I found a very good website - fleetengineers.com Under special deals there are plastic fenders for $30 each (returns or slight defects). Mounting straps are $42.64. You put them where ever you want on the...

    Arizona Registration - HELP!

    Chris, My experience in Ca. is that it can't be done by telephone and is not easy in person. It depends of who you talk to, at what office, and what mood that person is in that day. I had to identify sections of the Ca Vehicle Code that supported my case. I had to try to convince that person to...

    Volvo 610 / 40' Alpha 5'er

    My 2 cents: Just started pulling my Alpha. Made two trips to the Colorado River From Riverside,Ca. This outfit goes down the the road like a dream. It's hard to believe how smooth the ride is. Believe it or not, the 610 hardly knows the trailer is there. When the commercial trucks pile up in the...

    What Mods to Cab of 610

    My wife wants a "jacknife" bed in the cab. This would allow passengers a comfortable seat and seat belts, and a bed.

    So Many Trucks, So Little Time!

    Hey Joe, no one ever jumped into a class 8 truck faster than I did. My mind was boggled by the fantastic beauty of the red Volvo 610, that Larry had put up for sale. I was excited at the prospect of driving this big thing around. The biggest I had ever driven was a 3/4t pickup. I had purchased a...

    California Motor Home

    You know, I had this premonition.....If it looks like a truck/ has a big truck part, they are accustomed to seeing a TRUCK. That's why I considered taking off the 5th wheel temporarily for the registration process. A bed type platform for water skis etc. would add to the non-truck desired image...

    California Motor Home

    My 1999 Volvo 610 is now - Officially, a CALIFORNIA motorhome. It did take two hours. It appeared straightforward to me. A Volvo registered as a motorhome in another state comes into California. The two states have full faith and credit...(supposed to trust each other) , but the hang-up was that...
