I bought a 2003 Volvo last year.  Going from a FLD Freightshaker to a Volvo was like going from a Harley Davidson to a Honda.  Once you get over the stereotype it's unbelievable.

I've been told the thing about a Volvo engine is it's great until it's not.  It's like a 70-80's Ford car.  At 60,000 it's great.  At 80,000 everything is designed to break. At 120,000 it's a new car good for another 60-80,000.  The closer a Volvo truck is to 1,000,000 miles the closer it is to needing an engine.
