24v headlights are available from numerous suppliers advertizing in military vehicles etc. They are not unique to five tons, same ones fit in every wheeled vehicle from jeeps to ten tons that have 24v lights. Tracks are different and semi commercial trucks like the M 915 are also different.

hello AJ,

Congrats... you did not just get an M925... You got an M925A2 with the 8.3 cummins. In my opinion this is THE tactical cargo truck to have.

The transfer case has a .732 overdrive in high range so you can get reasonable freeway speeds out of it even though it only has a 1:1 final gear in the Allison. The 8.3 is plenty of motor to pull the truck around and it is turbo charged.

If you consider selling it please drop me a line. Your first purchase is what it took me a few years of trial and error to settle on. Again, an excellent setup.

Yes it was cheap,especially for an A2 and it only has 3200 miles on it.

Thanks for the advice on where to get the lights, I will try the contacts you guys listed.

I think I am going to have a too much for with it for a while Justin, but if I change my mind someday I will give you a call.

Wow nice purchase! I'm in Hawaii too and can't believe I missed out on one of those; ironically I've been looking for an M923 or M925 as my first military vehicle.

I don't know if they have any others listed but they had at least 5 others like mine on the lot and 1 duece, so they will probably be coming up if you keep your eyes out. Their lot is right behind Tamura's barbers point location if you were in the area and wanted to check them out.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably have to take a trip over and get a look and feel for a 5-ton before deciding.
