I work for Volvo construction equipment dealer. I see alot of d13j engines in loaders and haul trucks and can honestly say we don't have many issues. Injectors and cups and aftertreatment faults mainly. Good video.
The AHI module, usually gets clogged up, restricting fuel to the 7th injector nozzle, because the air dryer filter gets clogged, allowing dirt and oil, to contaminate the air systems.
Thanks brother! Very informative video. I happened to buy 2014 D13 VVN, and have noted down every thing to plan maintenance in time. Till now I had DPF filter cleaned, injector cups changed, DEF dozer valve changed.
At 500k miles that's not a bad list compared to ISX. Most engines the turbos, injectors, EGR, after treatment, etc will need work or replacement around 400k. So, a $10k preventive investment before 500k sounds reasonable. Repeat before 900k and get the bearings done if you haven't and you'll drive pass 1 million miles without major headaches. O/O use your reset hours wisely on PM.
Are $10,000 on deferred maintenance can buy me 40% of a rebuilt Cummins N14 Celect Plus. You can throw good-money after-bad and I'll save my money for something that's worth it.
@@tpnotes I haven't driven any Volvo more new than a 2013. None of them ever reached an average of 7 miles per gallon. Then if you subtract a DEF costs you're getting Caterpillar type fuel mileage costs.
Another thing you may want to mention is the 2 I believe they're called the DEF coolant lines, those plastic L shape peices that the lines connect to, I had to have mine changed, because they broke and when they break you loose all of your coolant fast, I'm not sure if you've mentioned this before on your channel, I just thought I'd throw it in, the service guy that come out and fixed mine said he's fixed several on these volvos, thanks for the helpful information you give out, keep doing whatcha doing
Very good info brother thanks. I'm about to make my first truck purchase in cash so everything im looking at has around 500k miles or so. I wasn't looking at any Volvos but to hear you say almost everything I've researched myself on the d13's is really helpful. Thanks again and keep up the great work!!
How is your purchase going of a Volvo engine? Kind of makes you want to get a Cummins or Caterpillar, Right. Got to love a truck with a Volvo engine that takes three miles to get up to 50 mph....🙄 ...
@@michaeldunagan8268 with 455 HP and 1850 foot torque automatic transmission, i am kicking ass lot of old school folks your comment doesn't make any sense
Of all the new engines out I prefer the d13 and the mp8 which is the same. You hit the nail on the head with this video. I have a truck repair shop in Texas as well and as far as internal faults the cups are defently the weakest link. I would also mention if you hear your power steering pump making a noise don't ignore it. CHANGE IT! It's a tandem pump meaning its also connected to the fuel as one unit. I've seen the pump lock up and sheer of the gears on the gear train. Then its pull the engine time.😳
What’s the number to your shop?? I’d like to speak to you about these d13 engines... I’m looking to buy one with around 500-600k and I’m def wanting to know if the cups were done
You don't say...??!! So the piece of crap Mack engine I drove in the spring a '22 is the same piece of crap as the Volvo engine I'm driving now in the winter of '23..??!! Engines that can't get out of their own way. The people that love slug performing engines I can't understand....🙄
Mp8 engines are definitely not the best ever made. Lol. Every engine ever made has it's weak points. For example C15 cats are awesome, but the heads crack in between the valves and injector cups fail. Cummins ISX head gaskets fail pretty regular and the front structure is bad about leaking. No one makes a perfect engine.
I also see a lot of the lower DPF housings cracked at the welds by the DEF doser and also oil pushing through the oil sensors or injector harness and pushing through engine harness.
2017 730 with 620k mikes. Started showing a P228F00 code. Derates. Resets every day until I put a load on it. Runs great for about a mile even with a load.
7th injector or AHI module, timing gear cover gasket leak, PTO cover o-ring (engine mount) EGR cooler like you said clogged but sometimes coolant leaks internally and cooler has to be replaced, transmission cooler lines short one on the trany, nox and pm sensors but not often, cab heater core can be plugged and no heat in the cab, CAC pipe on hot side those permanent clamps beter cut and install regular ones with screw, DEF pump leak a lot specially in winter and push def thrue the def pump harness all the way to ACM and if this happened chasse harness need to be replaced+ DEF pump, DEF pump harness+ DEF level sender with quality sensor+ coolant solenoid for DEF pump, and don't forget timing plate on the right top corner of the engine, and also newer models with common rail Volvo roll out bulletin for EPRV (electronic pressure relief valve) on the fron end of fuel rail, so ther is a EPRV delete kit that req remove valve and plug the hole+ pressure sensor and right side of injector harness+accessory kit need to be programmed in order to tell ECM that there is no pressure relief valve anymore 😀
Surge tank cracks, oil fill tube dry rots and cracks at the oil pan fitting, rear timing gear cover leaks, crankcase vent pump gasket leaks from drying out, DOSING manifold!! Pathetic how many of these I have changed on the older brick types...just to name a few. Ow and another one, I’ve seen a failed CD player, the factory radio, throw a check engine DTC. That’s just the issues I’ve seen on 14-17 models. They do have electrical bugs but they are much better than our 2020 internationals, but not as reliable as our 2016 freightliners. Good video.
The effed up part about the radio, you cant just throw another volvo radio into it, without having the pass code.. Another annoying inconvenience with Volvo is just about every electrical item in it is a module of some kind.. and if you don't Syncronize and register it with central systems at the time of replacement you screw the next guy who has to change any kind of parameter but can't because your locked out of pretty much anything due to Chassis Id mismatch.. I freaking hate Tech tool with a passion..
I'm super glad I found your video I'm down the street at Schneider and feel alot better to have a show that I can trust to take care of my Volvo 780 ill call you guys next week for a PM Thanksssss
22 860. 100k miles. starts no problem, idles perfect. revs fine in neutral. put it in gear it goes to 3 or 4mph and it stops pulling. will not hold a steady 3 or 4. goes back to 0 and then will move again up to those speeds.
Crappy sensors. Sounds about right. Worked for a company that ran nothing but Volvos with D13s. They'd sell them as soon as the warranty went out at 450k. Guess that worked for them. I do like that smooth Volvo suspension though.
2016 Volvo D13 500k no check engine or any other lights on the dash. Truck does have a problem with gaining speed when loaded. Speed is at a max of 55 mph. The filter was cleaned out but still same issue
Check engine light stays on. It may go out but most of the time it's on. I asked a Volvo mechanic about it and was told there are ghost in the machine because of so many computers they can't chase down every issue. That made me all warm and fuzzy.
I have the mp8 mack same engine same problems I got the upgraded cups of course u need new injectors deleted all the cleanings shit swapped the turbo and water pump now truck runs strong as hell
What about the fuel gauge sensor? I’ve driven a couple of these and would fill these things up with diesel and the gauge would still read a quarter of a tank. Which is a bit frustrating.
I have 2012 vnl-780 D13 I don’t know to much about the truck we just by my first one I can say what a nice Truck!!!!! My truck was fleet maintain well over 7000.00 runs strong as sh!!!!!!!!!!!
on mine, the idle gear that turns the power steer/fuel pump, went bad, ate up all the gearing back there! crankcase vent motor seal. and the exhaust thin round gaskets after the turbo. just leaked fluid/smoke during regen.
I have a volvo d13 blowing white smoke change the injectors and cups but still smoking I drove it back home from the shop and it stop smoking i park it for a few days and then started up and it was blowing white smoke out the exhaust.
In the injector seal kit there's the thick purple one at the top and there's a thinner purple one use it on the bottom ring of the injector and that fixes your hard start problems a lot of D13 things I've noticed have a bleed down issue with their injectors and they get air in the system you can change the check valves you can change everything on there and still have a hard start a lot of them can be fixed by running a double seal I need injector itself not always but most of the time that'll fix your problem
Need help So I got my 2016 Volvo fixed at this shop in Philadelphia. I was told I had to clean my DPF, I had to replace the doser (otherwise the truck wouldn’t do a regen), and they also said I had to replace one of the injectors. Not sure which one. And also 2 knock sensors. After all of this, the truck seemed to run okay for few days but then I noticed something odd about the transmission. I never had any issues with my transmission before. The problem is becoming more and more obvious. When cruising on a straight road, it automatically downshifts to lower gear for few seconds, making the engine scream. When pressing the gas, you can feel a bit of a vibration (never had this issue before) and also, when backing up a trailer, it starts reversing with R1 which makes the truck jerk and shake crazy so I have to manually upshift the gear to r2. I called the shop and they can’t give me any tip other than calling me back to the shop. Can you guys help me out figuring out what might be the issue? Thank you

When I Start my truck. Hill assist light blink for few seconds . Also abs and tcs light comes on stay steady for few seconds then goes away. During driving time , it comes once a week stay for few seconds and goes away . Truck driven ok . What might be the cause for those lights to show up
I'm learning so much i have no to much experience on volvo but couple mount ago I have this problem with housing filter i change first the check valve on heat cilinder in still have the problem eas better but still so I replace the housing and them fix complete the problem
Great videos Adam, been following for a while now. Thanks Based in your experience, what year D13 would you say are the most reliable or have given less issues. Those you barely see in the shop or know have been great year engines. I have a couple of 14s and they have been great. Want to expand my fleet and have heard mixed feedback about newer models, starting with the 2016s and up. Thanks in advance
Just my 2 cents in . Best d13 is from 7-14 . 2014 is actually a 2013 year truck was manufactured. D13 from 15 and up are 💩💩💩. Burn oil and prob with head gasket
My volvo 775k on it no leaks, def system still running no issues at all, bull gear or idler gear will fail around 550k i shift i think is worst transmission In shop now because of it. I hope i get fixed also water pump leak
My 2015 Volvo 670 automatic. When I put it in drive or reverse it doesn't go or do nothing. I was told my actuator. What are the chances that's really it
my Def pump don't pump the system empty anymore after i turn the engine of. everything is fine the computer at the dealer said. but still the same problem!
I have volvo d13 2018 and when I reduce the speed at lights it change the sound of engine it looks like the engine sound is getting slower. There is no other problem.
Hi I have 2014 VNL with D13, now one's a while while I'm driving it loses exhilaration, it could be any speed, highway or city limits, I take off exhilaration my foot and pressed again and all over the sadden even think is OK . It has new battery, kills witch has been serviced, starter is new and my mechanic doesn't understand Any help or devices Thanks
How about an intermittent light issue, all lights work on truck, but there is no power to the trailer plug and trailer fuses under hood are all good(Replaced for brand new just in case). Have double checked and not getting power to Fuse block. But it only happens occasionally.
hi when i go revers and hit the brake the hill start senser show and lock my braker fo about 10 seconds. i can not go back then or move forworad.. its d13 volvo 2016
I hav 2012 d13, almost 800 k miles without major problems, and I rarely idle. If driver has idling fetish and idles his truck every noght then you’ll have problems with after treatment
I have seen some of your educational videos; you rock buddy!!! Question: I swap my automatic transmission type D for type F with my ECU and Shifting gear. Now when it shifts, 3, 5, 7, 9 it fells like its punching on engagement. also it is engaging to 5 gear way on low RPM from 1300 to 500rpm almost kills the engine. any comments?
I have 2018 vnl 670 D 13. Having a problem while starting from zero or coming down to 5 or 8 miles, try to speed up truck stuttering, hesitate to puck up speed. It's like for 4 to 8 or 10 seconds and then starts running normal. No loss of power or any problems. No code. Can you help?
I have a question about my 2018 automatic D13 Volvo semi my truck idles high so I can’t sleep and vibrate took it to Volvo and they said nothing was wrong what really is wrong
I have a 2018 d13 no engine codes but I'm build 30+#s of boost at random times ill lose boost and no power with that much boost I should be running like a rocket and fuel milage is about a mile under what it should be
Check transmission harness over transmission. Also check white connector begins seat that comes from your gear selector shifter. The pins in that white connector always has corrosion.
We have a 2013 Volvo in the shop right now with almost 600,000 that will crank but no start ECM has been checked along with all fuses and relays new fuel filter and new fuel pump customer states they used the truck all day parked it that evening and it wouldn't start the next morning any help would be greatly appreciated
I have 2013 volvo D13 my issues that while am driving I lost power and engine shot down then I open the hood to see I fund coolant reserve fund down below minimum so I open the cop and some air out then coolant pup up I start engine put back cop close hood begin drive so I went shop they said air compressor I change that but still not solve again may be it could be thermostat I change that still not solve the issue any advice what it could be the problem help pls ?????
Mine puffs a bit of white smoke on cold startup until she warms up , no power loss no fluid loss no coolant in oil and temp on all cylinders are the same ? I’m thinking the cup , what do you think ? My fuel economy went from 7 to 6 though ! I can he fluids every 10k miles and flush radiator every 50k I’m not to concerned right now because she is running great !

I have d13 2016. Having trouble with its idle. The idle shut off is not active. Trucks continue shutting off for no reason. No check engine light on. No codes. Perfect idle. Just shuts off about every minutes.
I thank you for the heads up but where is the thermostat on this engine could you please show me?

Hi master do have a video how to adjust clutch for 2013,d13 ,13sp.ty
Great videos Adam, been following for a while now. Thanks
Based in your experience, what year D13 would you say are the most reliable or have given less issues. Those you barely see in the shop or know have been great year engines. I have a couple of 14s and they have been great. Want to expand my fleet and have heard mixed feedback about newer models, starting with the 2016s and up. Thanks in advance
Just my 2 cents in . Best d13 is from 7-14 . 2014 is actually a 2013 year truck was manufactured. D13 from 15 and up are 💩💩💩. Burn oil and prob with head gasket
I’ve noticed about 1 in every 5 trucks that come into the shops have a leaking rear structure.

Check transmission harness over transmission. Also check white connector begins seat that comes from your gear selector shifter. The pins in that white connector always has corrosion.
