Why does 2006 Volvo semi keep blowing heater hoses?

It would help to know what engine you had... if it's not a glider, the 2006 Volvos in North America were available with the Volvo D12 or D16 engine, the Cummins ISX or ISM engine, or the Caterpillar C11, C12, C13, C15, or C16 engine. Also, are the hoses blowing off of their connections, or are they just blowing out?


How many gallons of fuel is used when idling for an hour with the AC on in a freightliner century class?

Rough estimate is a gallon per hour. Really depends on the engine. Engine options available for the duration of the availability of the Century Class include the 11.1, 12.7 and 14 liter pre-ACERT 60 Series Detroit engine, the 12.8 Mercedes-Benz MBE, the 14.0 post-ACERT 60 Series Detroit, the Cummins M11, the Cummins N14, the Cummins ISM, the Cummins ISX, and the Caterpillar 3306, 3406, C11, C12, C13, and C15 engines. In some markets, engines such as the Caterpillar 3408 or C16 and Cummins Signature 600 were also available.

What is the Weight Volvo 780?

To give an accurate answer, you have to give us an idea of how the truck is configured.. a 780 with standard 12k steer and 40k drive axles is going to differ greatly in weight than a heavy haul truck with, say, a 20k steer and 50k drive axles. The motor is going to affect weight, as well. The lightest motor will be the Volvo VE D 12, and the heaviest will be the Volvo VE D 16. In between those motors, there were several other motors available in various years - 12.7 litre 60 Series Detroit, Cummins M11, N14, and ISX, Caterpillar 3306, 3406, C12, C13, C15, and possibly the C16, etc...
