I’ll need to dig out the book and see what it says. Last service was 200 hours and I don’t even remember what fluids I changed at that time. I think it has 250 hours now….or so. It gets only about 3-5 hours of use a week

I'm at the farm, I will be back probably Sunday, not sure if I have a link or not, but I will check, IIRC I got it from a looney tractor forum. Look for workshop manuals, the machines are group together by similar models and many times seperate engine manuals.

i was able to leave one on my google drive and phone memory as well, seems like it’ll serve me well in case shit hits the fan
Getting ready to put new housing in. I think I got a full life out of the housing. Low milage but high fun factor. I'm hoping the new housing will last longer than the 40k miles I got from this one!
I am impressed the bearings have not blown out before now. What axle are you going with? Please say portals F/R.

Good deal, does that one cover the engine as well? If not look there will be another one just for engines.

Cost me $7.91 to ship the bad Cardone CV axle back to RockAuto. They took care of shipping the new one to me. I purchased the return shipping label through them and they must have shipped the replacement as soon as they had tracking information because I got the replacement 2 days later.
Shipped the old out on Monday and had a replacement axle by mid-day Wednesday.

Yes it’s got a section for the engine, transmission, differential, brakes, hydraulic system, etc. has color pics as well which is a bonus.
I guess this is my new ride now since I daily it. Well my/our/my wife's S60 has the 2015.5 oil burning issue where the piston rings are too short and allow oil to bypass. They eventually fail and the dealership has to replace the piston rings or replace the entire motor (if the cylinder walls are scratched). Volvo fixed this issue by the 2016 model with a new piston head and ring design.
So they have my parts on order for new piston rings and I take the car in for service in a couple of months (parts are delayed and the dealership is moving to a new location). So far, the dealership has been taking care of us really well, so I'm happy and I guess we'll have a rebuilt motor at 80k miles.
But I do have to learn how to re-drive now. In order to determine how much oil the car is burning to be covered under the service bulletin, Volvo changes your oil and has you come back in 1,250 miles to do another oil change where they test to see how much oil you've burned (all of this is covered for free). So lets just say my right foot has had two bricks tied to it for the past 1,250 miles with the A/C on low to make sure I met the bulletin requirements

Finished replacing the wheel bearings and backing plates today. All new studs as well. Will install into truck one day this week.
Nice! Why'd you take off the 4x4 decals?
