Opinion on signature 600

[AustinAK]

Thanks for the input. There's a sig 600 t800 in an upcoming auction, i was debating getting it if it didn't get bid on much, then swap my 11L ism with the 15L sig &18spd. But that's another project i don't NEED to do. The sig runs, but at 25k hrs I'm sure it would need love before being put to work.

My t800 end dump has the ism & 8LL, I love the truck, but it would be nice to have an engine that doesn't have to give me 100% just to do 40mph on flat ground. As much as the little guy has worked so far, I'm sure it will last until I retire or till the rest of the truck decides to retire.
that truck weighs basically 30k empty, this year I started using a pup that I customized (LOVE the super short pup). Pulling out of the pits I'll run it at 100-115k. Hauling off of the jobsite when I stuff both boxes (35cu yd combined) it can be a lot heavier. Luckily it's still the wild west in this area.
Almost all the hauls are under 20 miles,
That truck has moved mountains since I bought it nearly 10 years ago.

The trucks aren't my full time gig anymore, i made the jump from owner-op to general contractor. now I just use them to help get the projects done quicker so I can move the crew to the next site. This year didn't have any material heavy jobs. The end dump clocked almost 800 hrs of run time this season, the semi maybe 400-500.

I just need 5000-10,000 hrs of run time over the next 10 years, then the 2 old rigs can blow up if they want to.
