Stay away from the T-6 and get the T-5 cylinder. Not perfect but vastly superior to the T-6

Does the T5 really have the stones for one of those land yachts?

kcodyir,
I was going to restrain myself but since you brought it up I have to say that the XC-90 is, in my unnecessary opinion, one of the ugliest vehicles ever created. There, I said it...I promise to say no more.
I am not an expert mechanic, but I will attempt any repair. Worst case scenario is I screw it up worse than it was.

That is worth more than what I had to say. Don't let my odd opinions mislead you. Go with what you like :D

I neither like nor dislike them, not really into SUVs, but a 2.5T doesn't seem like enough.

If you have never driven a XC90 2.5T then you should. It has more go than it has any right to.
