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 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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
Today marks the end of my build on Smokey. A fellow steel soldiers member purchased the truck from Alabama and will be taking off where I left my build. Genuine good people and I am excited to see where the build goes. I have had a lot of great memories with the truck and I shed a tear...
I ran a separate ground wire from the gauge to the firewall and it's not working. Gauge is getting 24v. And 24v is leaving the gauge and the wire going from gauge to sender is new. Not sure what else could be wrong but the sender because none of the other gauges are malfunctioning. Just an odd...
My old oil pressure gauge stopped working. Installed a new gauge and still nothing changed. I have 24v going through line 27 and 24v leaving the gauge to head to line 36 to the sending unit. Ran a new wire to the old sending unit and nothing changed. Installed a new sending unit now and the...
Today I moved my dads ford compact diesel tractor on the m1061a1 back home. Drove great behind the truck. Truck did great at 50 mph. Trailer has had alot of use since finishing it.
I have also thought of this plan. Originally looked at a s280 but I'm now really considering putting my s250 on it and using that for sleeping in and then the rest of the space as a deck for my girlfriends and mine m274a2 mule to strap down for camping and shows and then when the mules not on...
