International vs. Kenworth?

I own a 1998 International 9300, and have had it on the road since Feb '09.

I buy my International specific parts at International, and everything else at KW. International parts inventories at most of its dealerships are terrible, in my experience.

Go drive a million-mile KW and a million-mile IH. Unless its been abused, the KW will be in much better shape than the IH.

Lastly, a KW will hold its value better than an IH, although if you're buying used, it'll probably also cost more up front.

This is coming from a lifelong International guy, my first pickup was a '75 International. Kenworth just makes a better truck, and supports its products better.
