    I have a 2004 BXS C15 in mine. Approaching 1.3 million. Rattles? The truck or the engine? Mine is as smooth from 1100 to 1600 rpm. No vibrations or rattles. Absolute money maker. If it wasnt I would have been rid of it a long time ago.

    What motor do you own?

    I'm struggling finding a good truck I got financing for 75000 if on sign with Conway. All the trucks I see already got 500,000 already with that price. I did get approved for a 2016 freightliner evolution. At 2,650 a month. I'm 1,000 from the deposit for that. I'm trying not to get too much too fast. This is why I thought the international was good deal

    I meant the truck, not the motor, and I was only kidding. I've never driven a million+ mile truck that didn't rattle.

    The reason it has so few miles and a low price is because the maxxforce motors get scared and quit every time you leave the shop. Seriously, they can't give them away, and Navistar is buried in lawsuits because of the junk they tried to sell.

    Last truck I owned was an 07 379x-hood with a 565 ISX. The smoothest, quietest, best-running, most power hill-climbingest s.o.b. I ever drove. Wish I still had it

    There is a maxxforce 13 and maxxforce 15. They only made the 15 for a couple of years though
