Volvo D13 engine 2019: A quick review. 

My 2013 D13 still running too. 660k miles just minor issues thus far. Also paying my bills.

How do they run when going uphills ? Thinking of getting one but dont want to go with cummins

Good advice for new owner operators.

How often you have to do it?

What year

You are welcome. Glad to be helpful.

That is an oil pressure sensor but this one measure the pressure from the piston cooling valve from the filter housing. Thanks for watching.

Yeah, you are right about the color. These trucks comes with Texaco ELC that is like kind purple or dark pink color, others trucks do not have the sticker brand but they still specify what kind of coolant is recommended to use if you flush it. I hope this answer your question.

any 50/50 works really

Texaco heavy Duty ELC , it's actually light purple. Engine oil is factory fill Chevron DELO 10-30

new truck use light yellow

Most of the trucks I see use the standard red elc

I do not know about overload around that size. This engine Volvo D13 is 450 HP, so this is relative small engine for that, in the other hand, you have Volvo D16, this engine can make up 600 HP, so it depend of the engine configuration. Thanks for watching.

@@LetstalkDIESEL In UK/EU the D16 has been making 750bhp and 2620lbs/ft for many years. We're now waiting for the D16-800

@@LetstalkDIESEL d16 is discontinued in the united states because it did not sell very well, only d11 and 2 variants of the d13 are still around, the normal d13 and the d13tc or turbo compound.

Yeah, DD13/15/16 are reliable engines in general. But we will see how this Volvo D13 engines perform down the road.

A D12 will...A really strong, reliable and underated motor

We work on this kind of engine but it is for tractor trucks.

How are these engine after 600,000 miles on them?

@@jaimecruz5367 I work with new bus but i could ask to somebody in service dept.

@@jaimecruz5367 some customer make 600 000 in one year and no problem , but the engine keep warmer on BUs because engin is in back.

@@jaimecruz5367 in our fleet, usually, they have couple issues now and then but this is for 2016 and older, like NOx sensor problems or emissions relate it. Beyond 500,000 miles usually transmission has problems and Injectors cups, but this depends of many factors like PM intervals, driver performance and other little things. 2017 and newer trucks still around 400,000 miles or less, so I cannot give an answer for that yet.

You might need the engine serial number, truck year and your VIN number, also do not try to find the engine by yourself, try to consult a Technician before buying it. This is my personal opinion, I hope to help you in your decision.

engine remanufacture on google

Roughly, from $3,500 up to $20,000 (US dollars) might be better if you use that money for a down payment in a new truck, this is my personal opinion. Thanks for watching and for the support to the channel.

Yeah, simple trucks, very reliable. But now emissions systems are all about money and business.

You can check this video A little advice before buying a new Truck. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EYio5PRFmGg.html

Oil temperature sensor is located on the driver side (left side of the engine), close to the air compressor, you will see two sensor close to each other, the one of the top is the oil pressure sensor. Thanks for watching.

@@LetstalkDIESEL thank you for respond

Let’s see in a long run who stays in the top. Volvo and Detroit engines for now keep the crown in the top 3 with Cummins at the third place. Thanks for share your opinion.

I am sorry, but I do not understand you. I believe that is Portuguese language. Could you please translate to English?

@@LetstalkDIESEL that volvo are in time to change ,its time to create a new block to be the best on the market like DAF this truck in this brand use a better mechanic more efeciencie than volvo which use a block very old without evolution..this is my translate but i am speaker espanish i from Argentina ,sorry about that mistake

Dude it's not. Common rail engine. It's unit Enjector system

Well, I have a few facts for that engine: 1. Volvo is the only manufacturer that has keep the same engine design (in general) from 2007 up to 2019. Few components might be different but if you compare both engines side to side... they look really alike. 2. Sadly, but true, 2017-2018 Volvo engines (those with the injector harness separated from the main engine harness) the injector harness has been defective, we’ve have to replace couple of those in our fleet. 3. Volvo engine does NOT have a High Fuel Pressure Pump (2016 and up), instead three of the injector do the job of the Pump. Quite interesting in my personal opinion. I know, they are many other details that I do not cover in this video but it is just my personal opinion. Thanks for watching and stay around you may find something helpful.
