    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    You can try those military guys I looked online and found it in the US all ready and didn't wait 2 months plus. I also got a 5" to 6" exhaust adapter with one clamp and works great.

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Thanks Superthernal, it is 1/8" npt to 1/4" dot line. I like the brass or metal quick connect fittings oflvrr the cheap plastic ones. You could try it and see how it goes. I know the military pressurized the trans and t case but didn't know they did the axles that way. That would be neat to try.

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Went to start the truck and the truck volt meter went way into the red for overcharging. Turned it off and tried again with same results. Tried removing the Allen key plug and of course it rounded out. Decided since so many have trouble with these to go with a modern alternator and make it...

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Even after the shock upgrade, the front is very bouncy, I decided to do fluid balancing and added 1 gallon to each tire of straight antifreeze. Worked for me in the past. I did a half gallon up front and it made a big difference. 1 gallon hopefully should he enough to smooth it out. Truck...

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Cleaned the fuel tank out before installing the strainer and locking fuel cap. No algae luckily but did have some rust particles. Fuel sending unit doesn't work so I am installing a new sending unit as well.

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Swapped all gear oil from axles, t case and trans axles and t case got 80w90. Installed a napa spin for trans and went to amsoil synthetic powershift fluid 10wt. It's rated for Allison transmissions and has improved Temps. My trans had what looked like hydraulic fluid. Wasn't burned...

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Moved the axle breathers up to the engine compartment. Ran a separate breather for the front axle to the passenger side, and rear axles to driver side. Also added new monroe shocks and added 16r20s with hemtt wheels. Installed front led side markers.

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Replaced both windshields, new wiper arms and blades. Also got air motor wipers working. They were rusted from being in elements. After working them free they work great. Last photo is Brutus's first tow. I sold my m35a2 and the driver didn't have proper equipment to load the truck and...

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Had a hiccup when doing overhead. When my buddy came up to help with the radiator, dual fuel line mod, and coolant filter, we did the overhead on the engine. As we got to the last cylinder, the feeler gauge broke and a piece went Into the engine. We tried looking for it and couldn't find...

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Installed a 6" donaldson snorkel and cut 6" off the intake tube. Didn't want the snorkel 2 ft above the spare tire mount. After hard top goes on I will push down a little farther to get it as close to the hardtop to blend in.

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    My buddy helped me with the dual fuel line mod. Noticed some more improvement in performance but drastic change. Decided to add some armor lights and replace the halogen bulb with a LED replacement. It's a PAR36 bulb. They are used for landing aircraft. Very very bright. Have them wired...

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    I decided it was time to put a Pyro in before doing any significant driving or performance mods. Truck barely gets to 900 degrees pulling hills. Exhaust is clean when warmed up and pulls great. No plan to swap any buttons out. Plan on leaving it as is. As I looked at truck more, the radiator...

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Purchased tmg air filter and wire basket for less restriction. Changed engine oil and filter. I also decided it was time to change the muffler. I was looking for a different exhaust tone and went with a 14" body 7" diameter magnaflow stainless muffler. It's small enough to hide completely...

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Purchase a strainer and had a portable sand blasters come out and work on the bed. Inside of bed had the worst rust. Took longer to setup then it did to do the job. I primed it with 2 coats and sprayed herculiner on surface with 2 gallons to seal the bed surface.

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    I decided to take the plunge and enter the 5 ton world. Had m35a2s and variants for 10 years and wanted a 5 ton. Came across a nice m925a1 back months ago and decided to start a new build. His name is Brutus. Truck came with all led lights minus front side markers and spin on oil filter...

    Turbo for NHC250 Cummins?

    My buddy turboed his m925a1 and use a hx60 turbo with a mrap intercooler and radiator. Lifted the cab and hood 2 inches. He also installed a methanol injection kit. He had his pump build by premco and had a #20 button installed and also 20% over injectors by premco. I can tell you from first...
