    I would take a kw over an f-liner any day for many reasons. Pick whichever one has the fewest miles and in best shape.

    T700 is going to be heavy on the steers with that cummins.
    Believe me I drove one for 2 years and it was almost impossible to get the axle weights right when almost fully loaded.

    The DD15 motor hard to beat. Over a million miles with no issues.

    Go green or go home....seriously, I've had good to excellent results from every kind of engine I've ever driven. Like Cummins and Detroit the best

    I've always liked the ISX. Even though the one I drove was castrated, that Cummins would still pull a steep grade like it was no big deal.
