STAY AWAY FROM INTERNATIONAL TRUCKS.

1984.......


Took a month of arguing when I ordered it to get them to move the air cleaner under the hood and slide the tank up to match the other side.

 

Nice rig!!

 

Saw this on Marketplace.

 

VW owns a big share of international now.

 

Well ... ok ... I know the people who design and build them and I won't be like others who think everything with a blue oval is the best of the best.

I have several of them in my little Pickup fleet, they are not bad, the first bunch I got a deal on them because the dealer couldn't get rid of them. This last bunch will be the last, I am going to either go to a medium duty Ford with a cummins or back to Dodge.

I just spent $38k fitting one of them for a service truck, service box with compressor, fuel tank, etc. ... and one of my guys picked it up last week, stopped at a light and no go - the trans blew. It is at the dealer waiting on a new trans (told a four week wait), this is where the mechanic is b****ing to me about the up fitter who did the work putting on the service body that his boss sent me to.

Ford is just like anything else, there are good ones and a lot of bad ones, just like GM products (I will never buy that junk).

My beater is a 98 12 valve 5 sp 3500, this thing never stops.

 

I'd take a Cascadia over an International any day. In fact, I was quite happy when they moved me from a ProStar to a Cascadia.

 

We have internationals at work, not even 200k and they’re literally falling apart and the plastic headliner is warping. Not to mention everything rattles and shakes, the seat is a back killer. I get out of that thing with my back feeling like I’ve been doing hard manual labor all day. Anytime I can sneak into our cascadia rental I’m in it. Two different worlds.

 

What year and what engine is in the 7400? Was the dealer able to scan the engine ECM?
There are quite a few things that can cause a no start situation.

 

When International quit making these they quit making good trucks.

 

We used F250's in the oilfield and the Ram 2500. The Rams never lasted long enough and hurt my back from that messed up seating they use. Ford was by far the best truck out in the field at that time. Have not owned a new truck since 2018 so cannot say anything about those since. Was a 2018 F250 with the Ford Engine and was great. Also had a 2015 Ford F350 Dually with the 6.7 Diesel engine and it was a beast. Have the new Bronco Sport and it is a nice little SUV and cant complain about it.
