    There is something called a search tab in the top right corner of your screen. I’m not gonna post pictures of his stuff on here, but if you want to cross reference me, look him up. He’s put quite a few pictures on

    I stated facts while yours is unsubstantiated personal opinion.

    Not just personal opinion. We had 3 IHs, before the Peterbilt and Kenworth. They are a whole different class of truck

    Only IH I would not turn up my nose at anymore is a 9900i with a CAT.

    Agree, the International is the clear choice for profitability.

    Not doubting you at all, but his profile is currently unavailable. At least to me.

    That is a personal opinion. I like my Paccar products, and I also have 1 Western Star, I am not majorly brand biased. I have driven IH, Freightliner, Peterbilt, Mack, Western Star, and Volvo. In order of my personal preference, my old Pete 379 is at the top. My dad has it now, and every once in a while I take a load for him with it just for fun. After Peterbilt, naturally comes Kenworth. Followed by Volvo, Freightliner, then Western Star and Mack. (Granted, the Mack I drove was an Anthem, so not a real representation of Mack quality) International is the last one of the lineup I would consider, unless like I said, I would happen onto a 9900i with a CAT. Not saying IH trucks don’t have a place, but they definitely don’t on my lot.

    I’m a couple weeks in to the new international here. Almost 4K miles in and the air system has been better with less low transmission air cautions. It still rides like trash. The single rear axle Volvo rides better. I’m not paying for it though so that’s ok. Lolol. I’d never buy one. I won’t fault someone who does if it makes sense for them. A 265wb old school Peterbilt rides way better and this engine is a gutless wonder.
