INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Navistar International Transportation Corp:

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Navistar Retirement
Accumulation  Plan (the  "Plan") as of December  31, 1998 and 1997,  and for the
years then ended,  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 as of December 31,
1998 and 1997 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended, 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 1998 financial  statements
and, in our opinion,  are fairly stated in all material respects when considered
in relation to the basic 1998 financial statements taken as a whole.

NAVISTAR RETIREMENT ACCUMULATION PLAN
- -------------------------------------


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
- --------------------------------

 1.      DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

         The following description of the Navistar Retirement  Accumulation 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  that are  participating  under the Plan who
         were  first  hired on or after  January  1,  1996 and who meet  certain
         length of service  requirements.  The Plan was  established  January 1,
         1996, and has subsequently been amended to maintain qualification under
         Sections  401(a),  401(k) and 501 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986
         (the "Code") and to modify the  provisions of the Plan.  Administrative
         expenses  relating  to the Plan are  paid by the  Company.  The Plan is
         subject to the provisions of the Employee  Retirement  Income  Security
         Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

         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 only on a pre-tax
         basis.  Pre-tax salary reduction  contributions to the Plan are subject
         to  annual  maximum  limits  equal to the  lesser  of 15  percent  of a
         participant's  annual  compensation  or  a  prescribed  dollar  amount,
         indexed for inflation ($10,000 for 1998, and $9,500 for 1997).  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 in the pre-tax salary reduction portion of the Plan and no
         pre-tax salary reduction  contributions  may be made until such time as
         such  employees  would  otherwise  become  eligible  to  and  do  elect
         participation in that portion of 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.
         The  Company  matches 50  percent  of the first 6 percent  of  eligible
         compensation  deferred  by the  participant.  Discretionary  retirement
         contributions   are   allocated  to  eligible   members  based  on  the
         participant's age at year-end and eligible compensation.

         Non-vested   Company  matching  and  discretionary   contributions  are
         forfeited  when a  participant  retires  or  terminates  service.  Such
         forfeitures  are used to offset future  Company  contributions.  Salary
         reduction  contributions  and rollover  contributions  are fully vested
         immediately.

             primarily in common stocks of United States companies.

         o   Templeton  Foreign Fund is  a mutual fund which invested  primarily
             in common stocks and other  securities of companies and governments
             outside the United States.

         o   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 in a master  trust and  represented
             by units of the Navistar Stock Pool (the "Pool"). The value of each
             unit of the  Pool 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  plans participating in the master trust 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  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.

             The participating plans in the Master Trust Fund and their  percent
             interest as of December 31, 1998 are as follows:

               Navistar International Transportation Corp.

         Investment of Company  Matching and  Discretionary  Contributions - The
         Company  controls the  investment of these  contributions.  The Company
         employs professional  investment  managers,  as selected by the Pension
         Fund  Investment  Committee of the Company,  to manage such  investment
         portfolio.  It is  intended  that  the  assets  will be  invested  on a
         long-term  basis,  consistent  with the  purpose of the Plan to provide
         retirement benefits.  Such Plan assets for the years ended December 31,
         1998 and 1997 were invested in  the Frank Russell  Aggressive  Balanced
         Fund, a mutual fund which  invested in common  stocks of United  States
         and foreign companies and in intermediate bonds.

         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.   Company  matching  and   discretionary
         contributions  are not  available  for  loans.  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.

         Payment of Benefits - Participants  may request either an in-service or
         hardship  withdrawal of certain of their account  assets.  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.

         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.

1.       DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)

         When the participant terminates  employment,  the vested portion of the
         account will be  distributed  if the asset value is $5,000 or less.  If
         the asset value is more than $5,000,  the participant has the option of
         receiving the account upon  separation  or deferring  receipt until age
         65. 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.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Basis  of  Presentation  - The  financial  statements  of the  Plan are
         presented on the accrual basis of accounting.

         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.

         Investment  Valuation and Income  Recognition  - Participant  loans are
         valued at cost which  approximates  market value. All other investments
         are presented at published  market values.  Security  transactions  are
         accounted  for on the trade  date.  Dividend  income is  accrued on the
         ex-dividend date.

         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, 1998 and  December  31,
         1997, 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

         Application has not yet been made to the Internal Revenue Service for a
         determination  letter as to whether the Plan  qualified  under Sections
         401(a) and 401(k) of 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.  Therefore,  no provision for income taxes is
         included in the Plan's financial statements.

4.       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 ERISA. If the
         Plan is terminated,  Plan  participants will become fully vested in any
         funds allocated to them.

5.       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, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:
