No o/o with any business sense gets rid of his truck with new transmission and engine. Now that major components have been replaced, you run that truck for a long time to get your money's worth.
I suspect there are hidden issues with it
Opinions on a couple trucks I'm looking at

735k ok
635k ehhh
535k balls
435k?WTF Did this man do?jdiesel3406, Vampire, Arctic_fox and 4 others Thank this. -
What model International?
What model KW? -
My opinion…when it comes to emission trucks get the newest with the lowest miles and hours that your budget allows. Unless the KW is deleted I’d stay away even with the overhaul and trans because you’re going to be chasing emission sensors from here on out.
Opendeckin, krupa530, W923 and 2 others Thank this. -

If you have more than 4, how can you stay in business?
But then KW pride isn't what matters, they are still trucks, their quality has slipped compared to the good old days where quality was top notch.
No matter they are tools of the trade, and that's.
So here is the problem. I have a lot ISX engines (or its variations) in trucks; it is my preferred engine for the heavy stuff.
It has a B10 rating is over a million miles if I remember right.
It has a B50 rating is over 1.3M miles if I remember right.
An engine with only 450,000 on it being overhauled has to have a serious defect or was abused, but either way, an inframe means that it is high risk and could be a problem going forward.201, Arctic_fox and dosgatos Thank this. -
How many hours are on the the KW? If it did dry bulk or tank or whatever it could have the equivalent of 800k on a true road tractor which would explain the inframe, either way I wouldn’t touch it though, or the international, only way I would do an emissions truck is brand new
