M52A2 = Mulitfuel engine
I believe the early trucks were 1:1 final drive ratio and the later ones were overdrive. I don't know what year they made the switch. I'm sure someone will chime in.
I think you look like you are in line to see Kiss at the coliseum! ;)
I didn't think there could be a bigger restoration project than my truck, but that's it. It would make a great farm truck though. Since the engine is gone, you can put anything you want in there! A NTC-400 Cummins would...
Glad you found a buyer for it. That's a great truck/trailer combo for moving MV's. Did you go across the scales today? Just wondering what you grossed out at.
You're welcome. John Winslow has some 5th wheel setups sitting around. I can look for some chocks the next time I am there if you can't find any elsewhere.
I need a couple of crates delivered from the GA Rally to VA as well. Timntrucks is bringing them over to GA. Can they ride with any of you guys that are headed north after the rally?
They are 29x27x24" and weigh around 175 lbs each.
Thanks!
That's definitely good and bad news. Is there any cross-over between the NHC-250 and the 855 Cummins engines used in civi trucks? It seems like there has been a bunch of different 855 versions, NA and TA, small cam and big cam. I'm just wondering if pistons could be sourced from a truck...
Thanks Neil. Hope you are enjoying that 109. Hopefully we can do that outer banks trip next year that we've all been talking about and get us all together.
Bjorn, technically it is a water and particulate filter, not a dryer. It is an auto-drain unit with full metal construction. It was also available with a clear lexan bowl, but the unit that originally came on the truck was all metal.

Rick, thanks, my brother is north of Raleigh so that may work.
DeuceNewb, my brother also goes to Wilmington every once in a while too so that may work.
I'll check with Chad and get back to you guys. Thanks!
Work Session Report
I spent a day working on the 925A2 yesterday. It only rained on me twice, so that was good. My primary focus was closing up open air lines and working on the electrical system.
I installed the front service and emergency gladhands. Then, I reconnected a flex line at...
The spring brakes were caged on this one when I picked it up from Portsmouth. I put the Kroil to the bolts last week in hopes of getting them off this weekend. I am really concerned about the condition of the front axle cans since they have been sitting for so long with the lines taken off of...
Thanks John. I am actually going to hit it again this weekend. I have a few more wiring repairs to make and then I am going to get to work on the air brake system. I also plan on letting the truck run for a while to get the coolant temp up so I can check that system for leaks. I also need to...
