I have an extensive thread on the build of my m932a1 tructor in the 5 ton section. I used a drop side deuce bed with 3feet cut out. I reinstalled the troop seats as well. It all looks factory. I'm very pleased...
Do the touch test. Then pull the instrument panel out a little so you can get at the gauge. Make sure the connections are clean and put silicone grease on the contacts. Do the same with the sending unit. I recently replaced my coolant gauge and sending unit because I was getting odd...
Mine normally runs about 170 when all warmed up. Your cooling system probably still has some garbage in it. I run a coolant filter on mine and after 2000 miles and 3 filter changes its finally starting to look good. Check the deuce forum for the setup. Have you change your tranny over to...
Its funny most of the pulls I did I didn't even give the truck any gas at all. This is the element these trucks are designed for. I'm looking forward to this next year and more fun.
I didn't get stuck or my buddy with his M813. I did pull start a deuce due to bad batteries. Its funny pulling on something with the truck, a little tug and then you don't even feel them. I pulled a monster truck out and pulled him so hard I pulled the 5 foot right rear tire off the rim. It was...
You're welcome on the images. Its been a fun build. Looking forward to using it a few times this next year. Did a local mudfest earlier this year and had fun. Here's a video to enjoy.

The tructor is about done. Started as a M932a1 then added a shortened drop side deuce bed with troop seats, LED lights all around, and many more little mods with just a few left to do. I will be installing a HMMWV seat on the drivers side for a little more comfort.
The big NHC250 needs a lot of amps to crank in the cold. What works in the summer won't in the winter. I replaced all 4 of my batteries for this exact reason. Now it cranks very well even below 32. Before it wouldn't start if it was below 40. Go over the TM's for adjustment of your...
I'm not familiar with the 8 series trucks front axle engagement. Use the search function in the 5 ton section. I'm sure others have posts that could be helpful. In addition the Technical manuals, TM's, are available for download here on the forum. Hang in there. It might take a little bit...
When I upgraded to LED's on the front I had to get a new flasher unit from Erick's, now no issues. I did have Ericks cable mod already in my truck. I don't like splicing into 40 year old wiring if not needed. Everything works great. I have LED's all around on the truck.
As said before get into the TM's. I spent a huge amount of time in them before I started working on my 932. If you don't know how to cage a brake then you better spend time reading before you do anything. You will hurt yourself ! I replaced all 4 of my rear diaphragms trying to diagnose a...
TNJ Murray, Boyce Equipment, Eriks Military surplus, White Owl; one of these suppliers might have what you need. Good luck and snap of few pictures of the work done.
