Got the water pump off. Not terrible. Doing the mrap radiator and a different cross over pipe gives you more room to work on stuff. Took the fan off and the bracket, etc. Not bad for first time. Got more coolant out. The water pump is definetly shot. New one should be here hopefully...

Got the wires run today for the ditch lights. Bulbs came in but the amber tint didn't. Waiting to assemble them until the tint is here otherwise I'm taking the bulbs out again. Waiting on water pump. Next is to start taking the water pump out so I can prep it for the new one. Picked up belts...

While waiting for the water pump, I decided to get the boost gauge installed. Uses the same ultra comp series as the speedometer. As gauges fail I'm switching to this series. Love the nice bright colors but it's not blinding while driving. The next few photos show the 90 degree elbow and the...

Welp. I have a minor setback. Truck was warming up to put heat in it and burp the coolant. Truck was running about 20 to 30 mins. It was dark and my girlfriend wanted me to take it out but I told her I want to wait and get the boost gauge and other stuff done before taking a first journey. I...

Got the truck fired up today! Got the aftercooler installed. Got all the plumbing done. Video link is first start up. Didn't put new injectors in yet because I wanted to drive the truck on Thanksgiving because my nephew and ran out of time today. Didnt finish boost gauge and or the catch...

Got the coolant lines all finished up connecting to resevoir. New silicone line from filter to the block needed to fit around the turbo. Got the 2-90 degree elbows off the turbo done. Needed a 5" exhaust piece 6" long. Decided to get the aftercooler installed. This has been a nightmare. The...

Thanks Superthermal! I'm running a LED PAR36 bulb. So I won't have issues wiring them up. I won't have a high/low feature but it will work with 12 or 24 volt. I have to make a slight modification to get the terminals to work with the new bulbs but the led bulbs I have are aircraft landing...

Installed some "ditch light mounts" that were made by lpcoatings. He can make these for anyone running a 900 series 5 ton. They are heavy duty and beefy. Lazer cut. Great man. Message him for some. They are very reasonably priced. Plan is to mount a 2nd set of armor lights. Im going to...

I also bought one if not the nicest turbo blanket on the market. It's made by Funk Motorsport. They make a blanket for a T6 flange turbo. Very high quality. Hoping this will help keep the heat out of the engine bay, and improve performance a tiny tiny bit. Plus it looks cool. They also...

Next was working on the exhaust stack. I chose to change the location of the stack. I didn't want it angled out from the old exhaust stack and wanted it farther from the coolant tank. My buddy and I decided that using the channel way for the convoy lights and running thread adapters would...

Creating the downpipe was a bit tricky. There's not alot of room on these cabs in comparison to the 800 series trucks. Trying to route the exhaust down and under with a bend was challenging. My buddy had lifted his 925 cab when he did the mrap rad and intercooler install so he used a different...

Decided to mount the coolant tank on the passenger side front head rack next to where the stock exhaust would go. It's tucked in so the cab protects it somewhat. Installed new 1/4" to-4an fittings and 3/8 to -6an fittings. Bought 1" silicone hose for the feed to the oil cooler. Going to wrap...

Well yesterday one of my best friends who turboed his m925 came up and helped me with my build. Got the manifold drilled and tapped for pyros for #5 and #6. The 5th one is in case I get a controller for the methanol. I will put a pipe plug in the manifold. Got the manifold torqued to 40ft...

I decided to get some 316 stainless metal lock nuts from McMaster Carr. I don't want the nylon breaking down if the temps are high enough to melt the nylon in the aftercooler. Ill change those out before the cooler is all assembled. I also got the manifold painted today. Now just gotta start...

Thanks Superthermal. My other fear was if that heat exchanger was to fail, it would dump water, rust and whatever else in the engine. So I'm trying to eliminate any future issues. I also do have a methanol kit as well I can run. It won't run all the time but when I need it, it will help.

Made some progress today. Removed the coolant resevoir tank. Going to clean that up and set aside for the re-assembly. Removed exhaust manifold. Looks like mocking up the pulse manifold I will need to get the front piece of exhaust on first to help with the clearance. I primed the exhaust...

Was done a year ago.

Removed the S pipe exhaust and the intake manifold to make room for the big cam aftercooler. I need to figure out how to get that S shaped fuel line away from the block. I don't know if the aftercooler will fit there without rubbing. Will need to dig deeper when I get closer to assembly...

Removed the stack and pipe under the cab in preparation for the turbo. Also received my injectors from premco. 10% overs. Based on my pump settings, Warren from Premco said this would be a nice upgrade and still give me reliability and not stress the engine. Not looking for a big powerhouse...

These are the tow bar clamps and the tow bar in place. Looks mean. Might have it powdercoated in the near future black for a nice contrast.
