Yes, I read most all of them and like someone said over there...it got a little confusing, I couldn't make heads or tails out of some of it. Something about dyno's and super-tweeking that dose it better than the original factory engineers ever imagined! Most was pretty good though!

So...I brought my original post here...also, because Musicman told me he is on this one when he's around...

My apologies if I caused any confusion...

I don't know are you? I'm just stating my experience with my truck, Did I say all Volvo's don't have electrical problems? No I didn't. You sure do like to stir the pot, Mr Fave 5. Yours and everyone else's experience might be different. I believe you need to go back and read a little more carefully, and think about my statement before coming up with a unprofound response. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Here is my new Hood. I got rid of the day cab. Look how aero dynamic those headlights are.

Like the old sig better Dorby. I was hoping for one less article of clothing when you revised it.

Russia had a lot of money to burn for a while. Not true anymore though.

Also, the Rev said the Werner 379's were all torn up by fleet drivers. I've owned, run and re-sold Werner 379 exhd's and they were in very good shape. They aren't investing in them anymore because they don't believe the market for O/O spec'd 379's is viable in the distant future.

I think they could be right? They & I could be wrong...time will tell? Emotional connections to ones truck value doesn’t change the facts about how the market is acting towards buying trends. The current real estate markets demonstrate that point!

I’ve let my dealer license expire, so I don’t have a dog in the fight anymore…My money is parked for a while.

I'd love to know who the "fave 5" are. Nobody informed me.

But, to go back to the original discussion:

Yours and everyone else's experience might be different.
Since I'm basing my opinion on what I have perceived to be a common problem, it would likely indicate that your experience is the exception, and not the rule.

If you think that is a personal attack, which it is not, then you are more sensitive than I thought. Sorry you got your feelers hurt.

I see you failed to answer the question though. Who are these alleged "fave 5"?
