The "Battle Cruiser"!

[Capt._Chaos]

Here's a few photos of "The Battle Cruiser", a 1998 International Eagle 9400 that I have owned for 3 1/2 years now.

My seats, which I got for the truck immediately after I bought it.

This truck is powered by a Detroit Series 60 engine that has been uprated from 430 to 500 Horsepower, with an Eaton-Fuller 10-speed and 3:70 rears on 24.5 tall rubber. Not as powerful as some trucks out there, but even with 950,000 miles on the original engine, it can hold its own with most of them.

I do about 90% of my own maintenance & repairs on it, as I have been a mechanic for most of my life.

well nice looking rig but hate the detroit deisel engines my truck has N-14 Cummins deisel engine

I've been a Diesel Technician for most of my life, and worked on quite a few N-14s.

The N-14s are great engines in terms of power, but I like the Detroit engines for fuel mileage, and for the fact that on average, they seem to run a lot longer with good maintenance until an inframe overhaul is needed.

well if you coose to run construction and flatbed look me up

Well, after three years and 8 months with my beloved "Battle Cruiser", I sold it yesterday!

I'm now in the process of removing my stuff from the truck before I go to deliver it to the new owner on Monday. His operation will have it pulling dry vans back & forth between San Antonio & Laredo. Will be a bit harder to find, as I'm removing all of the decals in the morning (I'm sure gonna miss my custom-made shark logo on the doors!).

I'm glad I sold the truck when I had the opportunity to, but I'm definitely going to miss it after having it as a part of my life for the last few years.

Hey Jeff! Are you taking the "pink" seats out of it too? Beanie I agree with ya.... the truck may be dark red but those seats are PINK!!!!!

[beanie baby]

:yikes: Girl you are askin for trouble!! :rofl:

The seats aren't pink, now I say the seats are red, and I've seen them. :D

I've seen the truck clean and dirty and when it's dirty, it looks PINK! :wtf:

Now I'm gonna run and hide, cuz I'm really going to be in trouble! :yikes:
