Simple .
It would be a WS simply because i cant stand those POS isx engines.
The detroits are doing well .CJndaTruck, Oscar the KW, Oxbow and 1 other person Thank this. -
All 3 offer the ISL Cummins @370 hp. What has been the problem with these motors?
The western also has a detroit 12 liter vs the cummins 9 liter with the same HP. -
Well the international would likely have the worst resale value if that helps
-
I wouldn't touch an Intertrashional. Junk. Either a Pete or Star would probably be just fine. All comes down to what you want to drive at the end of the day.
-
I think detroit is set to release the dd9 in 2017. Should give that little cummins a bit of competition.
-
Go with a Pete, and get a Detroit.
Cummins bloodline is cruising at sea in ships. Stead RPM day and night. You aint gonna get that with a local. CAT is too much. -
Cant get a detroit in a pete and no more cats since 2011x1Heavy Thanks this. -
AW. Weally?
Ive always thought you can whistle up a truck of all kinds set up just so how you ever like it.
WHAT in the world happened in 2011. Bear with me Swaan, Ive been out of this since 9-11. -
I have an international I got new last year with a Cummins and it has been just fine.
What I don't like about the Petes is the tiny cab.
If I go with a western is the Detroit hands down the best option?x1Heavy Thanks this.
