Bump

Thanks bkueber. Its gonna be a long project. But worth it in the end.

Got the bumperettes and pintle installed. Bumperettes were a challenge. Needed a ratchet strap to pull the bumperette to get the 2 holes closest to the pintle hitch to line up.

What color is this from Behr? Is this 24084?

Decided to acquire parts and removing stuff I didnt want. I put a new led dash bulbs in the high beam indictator and other dash lights. I acquired new mudflaps for front tandems, rubber mudflaps for rear ones, and bumperettes. New spin on kits for fuel and oil are coming soon. Previous...

My wife was sitting down looking at potential art work and design for side of the truck. Its a long ways down the road but here's a mock graphic design. Im trying to keep with themes from other trucks with font and colors.

Thank you sir! Its gonna be fun.

You are looking at a m925a1 Marine Corps cargo truck. Nhc250 cummins engine. 5 speed allison automatic. 6x6. Fording kit and lockers in both rear axles. Special marine corps ISO bed. Truck has a rebuilt engine from cummins. Brand new radiator. Brakes rebuilt. Truck body has been garage kept...

After finishing paperwork at notary, I go to move the truck and the brakes are locked on hard on rear right tandem. Couldn't get to release, E-brake wasnt grabbing. I tried moving minor adjustment with no help. Tried the major adjustments but the bolts wouldnt budge. Called a buddy of mine...

On Saturday I purchased a m54a2. Since I got into the hobby, I have always wanted one after learning about the guntrucks that served in Vietnam. I found one thats unique. The truck I believe started as a m54 or m54a1. The lower headlight position as well as the fenders on the inside of the...

No. Its a drop in system. Works great. I put photos in at beginning of this build with the changes.

I went with those military guys filter and assembly and it works real well. Based on my boost im at probably 900 to 950 cfm. You also have a much shorter distance from filter to turbo. Would their kit work in your housing?

Thank you. Have you replaced your injectors yet?

Thats cool! Had no clue. Sgt Tibbs would love it. Sgt Tibbs passed in May. He suffered significant bladder crystals. But hes not suffering anymore.

Installed a new idle plunger today. Pump was built with a #27. I installed a #22. I saw 9lbs of boost. Egts at 900F to 950F. Fuel pressure is back to a max of 170 like it was prior to doing the injectors. Truck feels strong at 1900 to 2000rpms. At 55 to 60mph pulling a hill I could...

For lubricity for your pump, I use either optilube or Hot shots. both companys have products for just lubrication that's vastly superior to 2 stroke oil. Optilube had studies that show how much better it does over alot of other competitors in an independent lab study. Hotshots is a newer...

I had the injectors put in yesterday. Went to the local heavy duty truck shop and owner helped me with inner base valve and injector setting. I did outer base when doing just the valves before. Was good to learn the other way of adjustment. The truck fuel pressure dropped from 170psi max to...

Today I added a Tropicool RV coating to the shelter. Outside temp was 88 degrees, surface temp over 145F!!!! 1 gallon applied, prior to even curing, the temps have dropped over 40F! Thats a huge difference. It also seals the top from water. Will be much more comfortable inside and the...

I'm glad I got away from 53" tires. Had them and switched to MVT 46". Less weight, better control, more power and torque, less wear and tear on components. Easier getting in truck. More affordable to purchase. Should have done this from the beginning, would have saved alot of money. I have...

Installed the gear reduction starter with my Dad. That was challenging. 68lb starter in an awkward position isnt fun. One bolt is a 5/8" 12 point. The others are 15/16". You will need some extensions for the one inside the starter next to the block. The star shaped bolt head needs a box...
