thanks for the info, so these international and ford parts are absolutely interchangable with no modifications necessary?

 

our motors are a international motor. international makes our motor. they refer to it as the T444E though but they are in fact the same motor. when you take off your valve cover you will see a sticker on the top that says international on it. some parts you have to get from the dealer though because international only stocks the base motor parts. so everything that ford bolts onto the motor they wouldn't have.

 

are parts from either any better, or price difference?

 

The last time I went to International to by some parts for my truck, they arrived at the counter with a Ford logo on the wrapper.
There is no difference in quality, just the price.

 

so is it safe to assume that international is cheaper?? i always like cheaper.

 

yep here is an example.

Gasket,
Ford= $85
international= $83

UVCH
ford= $91
international= $45

fuel heater
ford= $128
international= $32

you get the picture some things they are about the same and others they blow ford out of the water. so i just assume buy from them always.

 

sounds good to me, i guess ima hafta find me one of them around my house, i dont like stayin in houston any longer than i have to, drivers around here are nutz!

 

ya just google "international parts (then city and state that you live in)" and it will pop up with something i would imagine. thats all i did lol. good luck

where do you live at exactly

 

big ol' wharton, tx. aint even got a movie theater but we have a bucees's!!
