I really wouldn't do that. Let me tell you I've been driving and at times repair work on International trucks for almost 15 years and they really are garbage. the older trucks were better built say pre 2002 and even the last year or 2 of the old square nose trucks quality went down hill. but once they went to the "new body style trucks quality went way down in every aspect of the trucks. From what heard about those new terrastar trucks it's not got any better either

I can't speak for the terrastar engines but or even the current more current squareish body trucks, but the trucks as a whole. Fitment issues, electrical gremlins, brake gremlins, engine gremlins and greatly underpowered compared to their competition ..........i could keep going. but why bother.. the complaints i've heard from others is the newest trucks the terrastar is still underpowered and the one plus the internationals had was they had a great turning radius, better than their gm or ford counterparts...........and with the new ones that is gone

Ohh yeah here's another one. This applies to the trucks that started in 2002 and the newer ones look to be made the same way, the giant mirrors are mounted to the doors. Over time , you usually start to notice it around 30 or 40 thousand miles those heavy mirrors actually bend out the doors so you hear tons of road noise.
