Is the 2016 t680 10 speed with a paccar engine a good truck to pull dry van with and or containers? I think this one has about 430hp and the 6x4 drive.

Gear ratio? Plan on running flatlands or mnts? Both? Mileage? Price? It will probably be OK but you might want to really do some research.

Flatlands mainly, 460000 miles price range of $35,000 and $45,000.

It will be fine, personally though I would never want to go back to a 10/15/8ll after a 13 or 18

The last 10 to 13 speed conversion we did was only a couple grand, pending on what you buy for a trans (new, used, reman etc)

No labor itself and shortening the drive shaft was less then a grand I think, if you rebush the tower and change the linkage and clutch etc it will bump it up a smidge but it’s still not the end of the world, paid $1200 for an rtlo 167-13 out of a wrecked truck,,
