    M125-A1 Cargo Truck Cummins V8 300 Powered

    Truck looks really straight- very nice! As far as being complete goes, is it missing anything?

    M125-A1 Cargo Truck Cummins V8 300 Powered

    Sweet! So is this the only M125 with the V8-300? I've heard of M123s with this engine.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    There was finally a lull in the breeze long enough to get some stenciling done.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    That's quite the spread!

    New pyrometer & boost gauge pod install

    It looks like I could make you a gauge pod for $48. The extra setup cost for loading the special roller dies into the press brake adds a little more than I was initially thinking.

    M813a1 turbo help

    I haven't messed with them yet but from what I've read most of the manifolds are mounted upside down so they could be the same as you're seeing just upside down. Here is a good thread with lots of turbo installs of different configurations: M809 turbo installs Here is a compilation of the...

    Looking for pics of m813 next to normal cars

    I'd say about 5 years old or more. I remember seeing active Ebay listings for those about that long ago. Edit: the tan 4x4 was from May 2013 according to their Facebook page.

    3 Jake heads under a stock M809 hood!!!

    One last add-on that I just finished (sorry it's not a video of jakes operating) The reservoir tank lost its support bracket when the lift hook got removed for clearance so I finally got a new bracket made up to take its place. The new bracket is a slimmer, ambidextrous, 10 gauge version of...

    Looking for pics of m813 next to normal cars

    Not an M813 but just for fun. That's a real car on the back.

    Post up those Point of View hood shots!

    I took my kids in the 5 ton to their school's end of year parade to say farewell to their teachers!

    New pyrometer & boost gauge pod install

    It's a bit on the eccentric side, idea-wise but ultimately it will be mounted on the driver side with the ducts and hoses going through the rubber elbow / pipe that the intake air currently passes through. The actual air cleaner will be on the passenger side once the turbo is in place.

    New pyrometer & boost gauge pod install

    Not sure if you're asking Wes or I here, but for myself I'm not currently planning on adding an intercooler (but never say never). I do have the Cummins water-to-air aftercooler but I don't think it will fit under a stock M809 hood. Also, I already relocated my heater in preparation for a...

    New pyrometer & boost gauge pod install

    Yes, I've read and followed all the turbo threads and that's why i'm installing the pyro gauge before the turbo so I don't melt the pistons. I'm not looking for big power but enough to make up for larger tires when I get that far.

    New pyrometer & boost gauge pod install

    OK, I'll make you a gauge pod and anyone else that wants one like this - not sure on price just yet but shouldn't be too bad. From pictures I've seen the 939 trucks (if you want one for your 936) have slightly different defroster ducts so i'll have to get some measurements from you off of your...

    New pyrometer & boost gauge pod install

    Thank you! I'm going to install the thermocouple probe into the exhaust manifold soon to see just how hot my NA engine runs then I'll have to get a turbo to make the other needle move...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Here are some before and after pics of using a headlight "restoration" kit on my gauge lenses. I also replaced the faded DANGER decal with a larger one. The kit was basically wet sanding with 2000, 3000, then 5000 grit sandpaper and it removed the micro scratches and overall haze. To remove...

    M813 vs m35A2 which is bigger

    This is an M35A2 on 46s? (correct me if I'm wrong) next to an M813 on 53s

    Speedo correction for larger tires?

    I haven't read of anyone doing this yet, but has anyone changed speedo cable gears to compensate for larger diameter tires? I did this on my highboy and the math is just a simple cross multiply & divide. For example a 11.00-20 going to 16.00-20: #original teeth/42" = #new teeth/53" So if...
