INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Navistar International Transportation Corp.:

We  have  audited  the  accompanying   financial   statements  of  the  Navistar
International  Transportation  Corp. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan")
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,  and for each of the three years in the period
ended  December  31,  1997,  listed in the table of  contents.  These  financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's  management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion,  such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 1997
and 1996,  and the changes in net assets  available for benefits for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity  with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits  were  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying  supplemental  schedules
listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of complying with the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under
the Employee  Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and are not a required part
of the basic financial statements. These schedules are the responsibility of the
Plan's  management.  Such  supplemental  schedules  have been  subjected  to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic 1997 financial  statements
and, in our opinion,  are fairly stated in all material respects when considered
in relation to the basic 1997 financial statements taken as a whole.

         Corp. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general
         information.  Participants  should  refer  to the Plan  document  for a
         complete description of the Plan's provisions.

         General   -  The   Plan  is   sponsored   by   Navistar   International
         Transportation  Corp. (the "Company") to provide savings and retirement
         benefits for certain eligible salaried  employees of the Company and of
         certain of its affiliates who are participating under the Plan who meet
         certain  length  of  service  requirements.  The Plan  was  established
         February 1, 1965,  and has  subsequently  been  restated and amended to
         maintain  qualification  under Sections  401(a),  401(k) and 501 of the
         Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to modify the provisions of the Plan.
         Administrative expenses relating to the Plan are paid by the Company.

         The Trustee,  American  Express Trust, is authorized to hold and invest
         the assets of the Plan in accordance  with the  provisions of the Trust
         Agreement between the Company and the Trustee.

         Contributions  -  Contributions  may be made to the  Plan on a  pre-tax
         basis,  an after-tax  basis,  or a combination of both.  Pre-tax salary
         reduction  contributions  to the Plan are  subject  to  annual  maximum
         limits  equal to the  lesser of 20 percent  of a  participant's  annual
         compensation  or a  prescribed  dollar  amount,  indexed for  inflation
         ($9,500,  $9,500,  and $9,240 for 1997, 1996, and 1995,  respectively).
         After-tax  contributions  are  subject to annual  maximum  limits of 10
         percent   of  annual   compensation.   Both   pre-tax   and   after-tax
         contributions  may be  elected  at a  minimum  level  of 1  percent  of
         eligible compensation at any time. Subject to Company approval, certain
         eligible  employees are allowed to make rollover  contributions  to the
         Plan,  if  such  contributions  satisfy  applicable  regulations.  Such
         employees  are not required to be  participants  for any other  purpose
         than their rollover account;  however,  neither after-tax contributions
         nor pre-tax salary reduction  contributions may be made until such time
         as such  employee  would  otherwise  become  eligible to and does elect
         participation in the Plan.

         The  Plan  permits  the  Company  to make  matching  and  discretionary
         contributions.  Company matching and  discretionary  contributions  are
         subject to a vesting  schedule based upon the  participant's  length of
         employment, and fully vest upon completion of five years of service.

         In  general,  participation  in this plan is limited to those  eligible
         salaried  employees of the Company  whose initial date of hire is prior
         to January 1,  1996,  and to  eligible  salaried  employees  of certain
         affiliates.

 1.      DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)

         Non-vested   Company  matching   contributions  are  forfeited  when  a
         participant retires or terminates service. Such forfeitures are used to
         offset future Company  contributions.  Salary reduction  contributions,
         employee after-tax  contributions and rollover  contributions are fully
         vested   immediately.   The  Company  did  not  make  any  matching  or
         discretionary  contributions  to the Plan during any of the three years
         in the period ended December 31, 1997.

         Investment Options - Participants may direct the investment
                              of their account assets as follows:

              American Express Trust Collective  Income Fund II is a diversified
              pool of investment  contracts  varying in maturity date,  size and
              yield and short-term cash instruments;

              American   Express   Trust  Equity  Index  Fund  is  a  collective
              investment fund which invests  primarily in nearly all of the same
              stocks as are in the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index;

              IDS Selective Fund (Y) is a mutual fund which invests primarily in
              investment grade corporate bonds, government bonds, and other debt
              securities;

              IDS  New  Dimensions  Fund  (Y) is a  mutual  fund  which  invests
              primarily in ordinary common stock of United States companies;

              Templeton  Foreign Fund is a specialty  growth fund which  invests
              primarily in common  stocks and other  securities of companies and
              governments outside the United States.

              Effective  May 1, 1997,  the  Navistar  International  Corporation
              Common  Stock  Pooled  Fund was  re-established  as an  investment
              option  within this Plan.  The Fund was  previously  closed to new
              contributions.  Navistar  International  Corporation  Common Stock
              Pooled   Fund  is  a  pool   consisting   primarily   of  Navistar
              International  Corporation  Common  Stock  and a small  amount  of
              short-term cash investments.  Navistar  International  Corporation
              ("Navistar") is the parent of the Company.

              The shares of Navistar International  Corporation and the units of
              a money  market  fund are pooled and  represented  by units of the
              Company Stock Pool (the "Pool").  The value of each unit of the is
              represented  in terms of "net asset  value"  ("NAV").  The NAV per
              unit of the Pool is determined by dividing the value of all assets
              of the Pool by the total number of outstanding units of the Pool.

              The  Navistar  International  Corporation Common Stock Pooled Fund
              became a master  trust  ("Master  Trust Fund")  effective  July 1,
              1997.

              The plans  participating  in the Master  Trust Fund are  allocated
              units of the Pool based on their  respective  percent interest and
              share in the assets of the Pool,  investment  income  generated by
              assets of the Pool, and the gains/losses of the assets of the Pool
              by way of the  increase/decrease  of the NAV of each participating
              plan's allocated units of the Pool.  Except for the fact that each
              participating  plan may hold a  different  number  of units of the
              Pool,  each  participating  plan shares  equally in the assets and
              investment  experience  of the Pool since the same NAV  applies to
              all units of the Pool.

 1.      DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)

          The  participating  plans in the Master  Trust Fund and their  percent
          interest as of December 31, 1997, is as follows:

                Navistar International Transportation Corp.
                401(k) Retirement Savings Plan                         83.7%

                Navistar International Transportation Corp.
                401(k) Plan for Represented Employees                  13.7%

                Navistar Retirement Accumulation Plan                   2.6%

         Company contributions,  other than salary reduction contributions, made
         prior to October 1,  1991,  were  invested  in  Navistar  International
         Corporation Common Stock until the employee attained age 55 and elected
         a different  investment  option.  Effective  October 1, 1991,  existing
         account balances arising from such past Company  contributions  may, at
         the direction of the  participants,  be  transferred  from the Navistar
         Pooled Stock Fund to the other available investment options.

         Participant Accounts - Contributions and assets allocated to a specific
         investment fund are commingled with those of other participants and are
         invested in accordance  with the nature of the specific fund.  Realized
         gains  and  losses,  unrealized  appreciation  and  depreciation,   and
         dividends  and interest are  allocated to  participants  based on their
         proportionate  share of the funds.  Fund  managers' fees are charged to
         participants'  accounts  as a  reduction  of the return  earned on each
         investment option.

         Loans to  Participants  -  Participants  may  borrow  from  their  fund
         accounts a minimum  of $1,000 up to the  lesser of 50% of their  vested
         account balance or $50,000. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer
         between the applicable  investment  funds and the loan fund. Loan terms
         range  from 1 to 5 years,  with  the  exception  of loans  made for the
         purchase of a principal residence, which must be repaid in installments
         over a period of up to ten years.  The loans are secured by the balance
         in the  participant's  account and bear interest at a rate commensurate
         with local prevailing rates as determined by the Plan Administrator.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Basis  of  Presentation  - The  financial  statements  of the  Plan are
         presented  on the accrual  basis of  accounting.  All  investments  are
         presented at published  market values.  The loans to  participants  are
         valued at cost which approximates market value.  Security  transactions
         are accounted for on the trade date.  Dividend income is accrued on the
         ex-dividend date.

         Use  of  Estimates  -  The  preparation  of  financial   statements  in
         conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires
         management to make estimates and  assumptions  that affect the reported
         amounts of assets and liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets
         and  liabilities  at the  date  of the  financial  statements  and  the
         reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting  period.
         Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

         Valuation of Investments - Unrealized  appreciation  or depreciation on
         investments is determined by comparing the fair value of these separate
         funds at the current  year-end,  net of  contributions  made during the
         year,  to their  respective  fair  values  at the  preceding  year-end.
         Realized gains or losses are determined by comparing net sales proceeds
         to the fair value of the investment at the preceding year-end.

         Participant  Withdrawals  - As of December  31, 1997 and  December  31,
         1996, there were no benefits which were due to former  participants who
         have withdrawn from  participation  in the Plan.  Benefits are recorded
         when paid.

3.       TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN

         The  Internal  Revenue  Service  has issued a  favorable  determination
         letter, dated April 1996, that the Plan qualifies under Sections 401(a)
         and  401(k) of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986 (the  "Code").  The
         Company believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated
         in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and thus the
         Plan and  related  trust are exempt  from  federal  income  taxes under
         Section 501(a) of the Code as of the financial statement date.

4.       VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL

         Participants may request either an in-service or hardship withdrawal of
         certain of their account assets.  An in-service  withdrawal may be made
         for  a  portion  of  the  value  of  the  assets   purchased  with  the
         participants'  after-tax contributions and investment earnings thereon.
         Participants  may only withdraw  authorized  pre-tax  salary  reduction
         contributions  after attaining age 59-1/2, or on a hardship basis prior
         to  attaining   age  59-1/2.   Company   matching   and   discretionary
         contributions  and  investment  earnings  thereon are not  eligible for
         in-service withdrawal.

5.       TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

         A  participant's   vested  account  is  distributable  at  the  time  a
         participant  separates  from service with the Company,  suffers a total
         and permanent disability or dies.

         When the participant terminates  employment,  the vested portion of the
         account will be  distributed  if the asset value is $3,500 or less.  If
         the asset value is more than $3,500,  the participant has the option of
         receiving  the account upon  separation  or deferring  receipt until no
         later than April 1 following the year in which the participant  becomes
         age 70-1/2 if the participant  terminated  employment prior to April 1,
         1992, or age 65 if the  participant  terminated  employment on or after
         April 1, 1992. Accounts are distributed in a single sum. If the account
         includes 100 or more shares of Navistar Common Stock,  the distribution
         of that  portion of the account will be made in the form of full shares
         of Common  Stock and a cash  payment  for any  fractional  shares.  For
         accounts  with  less than 100  shares of  Navistar  Common  Stock,  the
         distribution will be made in cash.

 6.      AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

         Although  the Company  expects to continue the Plan  indefinitely,  the
         Company,  at its  discretion,  reserves  the  right to  amend,  modify,
         suspend or  terminate  the Plan,  provided  that no such  action  shall
         deprive any person of any rights to contributions  made under the Plan.
         If the Plan is terminated or contributions thereto have been completely
         discontinued, the rights of all participants to the amounts credited to
         their  accounts  shall  be  non-forfeitable  and the  interest  of each
         participant in the funds will be distributed to such participant or his
         or her  beneficiary in accordance  with the Plan terms and the Code. If
         the Plan is terminated,  Plan  participants will become fully vested in
         any funds allocated to them.

 7.      INVESTMENTS EXCEEDING 5 PERCENT OF NET ASSETS

         The Plan's investments which exceeded 5 percent of net assets available
         for benefits as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:
