I think you'll all agree with me, forget the 2005 3500.

Cool truck, but pretty low on HP/TQ. I'd probably need to raise my 5er a foot.

Price quote 90 grand. International has always made a heavy duty product but I have also met a lot of disgruntled truckers lately with with nightmare like stories to tell about rigs and some of them have been lifelong roadbinder people. I will take a look at the 2005 model about 2010 and stick with my 1st and 2ond gens to then

Lets see here,trade my Dodge for a new International,Hmmmmm..... NOT!!!



With driving their big cousin at work all week long and seeing the continued amount of problems we have you couldn't GIVE me a International to drive,let alone ever think of trading my beloved Ram on one. Poorly designed cabs,constant water leaks,wiring harnesses which always cause problems,rattles that defy logic,sensors which always decide to fail(I especially enjoy the speed sensor design International uses. Its located outside the rear tailshaft of the transmission and collects all the grit and grime and seems to fail always when you are miles away from home or a shop),interiors which will not stand up to the highway pounding,etc etc etc. I could go on forever about how much trouble they cause our company. You guys who complain about the minor things that go wrong with our Rams need to buy a International and see what problems really are. Oh,yeah and least I forget, the HUGE powerplant called the DT466,to drive one of these motors up a long grade you will need to employ the old 2 stroke Detroit Diesel approach-Walk up to truck,open drivers door,insert hand,slam door on it hard or numerous times,then the attitude will be right to drive this monster. Take that 90g's and spend it on your Ram and imagine the possibilities... ..... Andy
