Okay I'm back at it; cursed again to drive another truck with a Volvo engine. I don't know if it's a misfire or what but I have to drive a 2010 d13 engine like it's a 1995 Detroit Series 60. Caterpillar claims that only 180 horsepower from the engine is required to move 80,000 lbs down a level road with no wind at 50-mph. This D13 engine is unable maintain 35 miles per hour up a 3% grade. Incredibly, if I'm not hauling two heavy-like under thirty thousand pounds-if I drive it like a Cummins ISX and keep the RPM's at 1600 and the speeds above 60 MPH it does fairly well until a 2% grade. I don't hear a turbo leak. It starts great: it idles smooth: it just feels like it only has 125-HP.
Hi great to subscribed your Channel, i got problem like you said , unusual power, loss power on uphill even little bit uphill, i am scare ro bring the truck to volvo dealer even they just replace my hall turbo a year ago but it took 2 weeks crazy , and the coast almost $9k , my question is do i can stay run for 2 weeks still ok or i have to bring to small shop not volvo dealer to avoid break down or what i have to do, thank you for tour kindness

Hello, I just recently got out of a Cascadia with a DD15. The problem we was having was,the ECM kept getting water in the plug. We had new wiring harness and new ECM put on. What could be the cause of this problem?
What if I do that test! And my system didn’t boost pressure but can’t find any leak! Truck gauge show 35 to 40 psi! But truck it’s low power! The intercooler has been replaced and truck boost go from 20 to the pressure mention before performance get better but it go back to low power but turbo pressure stay at 35 to 40! What can be??

Hi, I have no acceleration going up hill in my 2011 Volvo Vnl cummins and no codes. Runs good on level ground, but drops from 70mph to 60mph on small incline loaded and 70mph to 65mph empty. No whistle sounds from inner cooler and no Turbo leaks. Could Turbo cooler still have leaks with no whistling sounds?
@@user-ln7of9gs4s Just had my head replaced with new cam, rocker arms...etc. Had a crack in head. New EGR/valve, EGR cooler, thermostat, starter, Turbo is good, new DEF filter/Canister.

That's how horrible engines are made-- at least the ones I drove-- these boat anchors were made no power up any hill without slowing down 10 to 15 miles per hour.

Alex, I agree sometimes those tubes are difficult to align. Make sure they are bolted correctly and you can also use sealant to assist in sealing
What size boot is recommended for volvo turbos. Thanks
Mahmoud, there is a test kit you can purchase with the size you need.

I I changed gas pedal sensor, Crankcase pressure sensor still the same
Hey friend did you figure the problem out ? I’m going through the same thing with my truck ?
You may start with fuel filters. It sounds like not getting fuel. Also, PTT software will allow you to test the pedal and sensors before condemn
@@TATEXPRESSINC thank you I will change the fuel filter and see what happens from there

Hey John, this is pretty old but did you ever find the issue for this ? We are having the same problem
What's your opinion of the D13 engine?
If good maintenance, good engine
I have loss of power in my volvo d13 and the temperature of the engine went up, can it be boost boost liking?
Is temp high enough to set a stop light?
If one cylinder has the valves at overlap wouldn't that cause a leak?
Some leak down is acceptable due to open valves. This test is mostly to check for heavy external leaks.
I wonder if this guy can fix low power problem on a maxxforce 13.
Add about 4 more batteries and you will have enough power to run a microwave, TV, laptop,fridge, george foreman grill, at the same time
You know uaed Internationals and the Truck Paper with a Cummins engine sell for $12,000 more than one with a Maxxforce engine, right....?
I don't get this video: Volvo's come with low power from the factory OEM. I know this first hand from the ones I've driven.
Nice to see how you used the testing tool: I've not seen one before.
