Hi, I'm Mark from Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada. I just got this old International 4700, and needed a power boost. I got the ORION software flash, and WOW! Even on level 4 of 7, it's Night and Day difference! So happy, as it was a gutless wonder.

Mark,

Welcome aboard!

very glad to have you with us.

It really is surprising just what the vehicles are capable of with a little bit of tuning. It's a shame that International grossly underrated these vehicles. It gave them such a bad reputation as "gutless". Even still, they sold millions of these trucks because they basically last forever.

Out of curiosity, are you using the rollback for business, or is it just for personal use? I didn't see any door signage, so I was just wondering.

Thanks again for joining us and please let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks Bill.
I'm starting out with this roll back as a hobby...as I like to find and fix up cars and trucks for something to do.Also I was into drag racing and show cars, so I've always needed a way to haul my stuff. For 40+ years I have ran the gamut on car trailers, tiltdecks and enclosed trailers. I've always loved the idea of a rollback for obvious reasons, but could not justify the cost. This old girl came up for sale, at a decent price...so I thought, what the heck!? I'll treat it as a project truck, by fixing it up, and use it for my own personal use
If I find there's more I can get out of it; I may start some custom hauling. I'm not into accidents and on call all hours of the
night.
The Orion tune just made me glad that I bought this beast, as I was shocked at the lack of power in stock form
Now I'm really stoked to see what I can do with this rig, without soaking a fortune into it.
Thanks for your product and excellent customer service! So glad I found you!
