    Well, that’s the International engine that sucked big time and almost bankrupted International.

    I believe I read somewhere Cummins bailed them out.

    So you came on here to tell us you bought cheap and have enough to buy another one ? You weren't looking for opinions or reviews you were looking for validation on a buy that you are probably second guessing. If you have enough for multiple bad trucks why not buy one good truck and save the Tow bills and headaches for someone else Another Cart before the Horse scenario seen on these forums all to often . Good luck with the Truck ,sounds like you have it figured out.
