    I say your better off spending a little more on a International 9400I Eagle that is 2000 or newer. They are proven solid trucks with a Cummins ISX15 and a Eaton manual. They usually run under $25,000 U.S. for a nice one.

    Not looking to spend a lot. The 9670 does a good job for what we do but looking for something a little nicer. Just hauling grain and tractors on stepdeck occasionally

    A small external head gasket leak is likely a liner. You can take that head off and try to figure out what the problem is, but you would be better of pricing in an inframe. So if you get the truck cheap, run it like it is until it really starts leaking, then repair as needed. Try the $3000 offer, there are many trucks like it on the market.
