2005 Volvo VHD Dump Truck

The following general information is web-sourced and may contain variances from the subject unit:

• Engine Model: Volvo VE D12-435Hp (Serial/Designation: D12*425995*D2A). It is an 11.7-liter, 6-cylinder inline diesel engine. 
• Power Delivery: It outputs 435 horsepower at 2100 RPM. The D12 platform utilizes electronic unit injectors and a single overhead camshaft. It is known within the trucking community for its flat torque curve and excellent fuel efficiency, though it requires routine monitoring of the injector cups and valve lash. 
• Transmission: Eaton Fuller RTO-16908LL. This is a highly durable 10-speed manual transmission featuring two “Low-Low” forward gears. These extra low gears are critical for high-torque, low-speed applications—such as crawling along a road to spray brine without stalling the engine. 

• 6×4 Tandem Axle: The truck has a dual-wheel tandem rear axle setup providing maximum traction on loose soil, mud, or winter ice. 
• Tires: Large 11r-24.5 tires give the truck excellent ground clearance and a heavy load-bearing capacity for off-road vocational tasks.
• Primary Body: Equipped with a BWS 14-foot steel dump body. BWS builds heavy-duty structural steel bodies meant to handle abrasive aggregates like gravel, rock, and dirt.

• Liquid Capacity: It carries a 2000-gallon Endura Plastics tank. Endura poly tanks are highly valued because high-density polyethylene is naturally resistant to the severe corrosion caused by salt brine chemical mixes. 
• Mounting: The tank sits on a plywood base inside/on top of the dump bed to protect the steel body from direct chemical contact and to distribute the fluid weight evenly.
• Gravity Flow System: It features a manual PVC pipe and valve system that relies purely on gravity. This is typically used for bulk water dumping or simple, low-maintenance wetting.
• Electronic “Rain Style” Bar: For high-utility application, it uses an electronic cab-controlled valve connected to a rain-style spray bar. This allows the driver to precisely start and stop spraying brine for winter anti-icing or spraying water for summer dust control right from the dashboard.

1. Winter/Spring Operations: Used by highway departments or contractors to pre-treat asphalt with liquid brine before winter storms to prevent ice from bonding to the road.
2. Summer/Autumn Operations: The tank can be removed to utilize the BWS steel dump body for traditional hauling, or the tank can be kept on serving as a dust-suppression water truck on construction sites.
