    M1061a1 restoration

    I was trying to figure out a way to secure the shelter and decided to use some eyelift points with steel cables. I centered the shelter on the trailer and then drilled a 3/4" hole for the eyelift. Centered it on both sides. I'm going to use 1/2 turn buckles. It will require 5ft-3/8"...

    M1061a1 restoration

    I bought a s-250g to fit on the m1061a1. I wanted the larger version of the shelter for camping. Came with a fridge, electric and ac. Shelter is in fantastic shape. I decided to mount the shelter approx 2ft back from the front edge of the deck. I wanted some extra storage space for...

    Fuel Return Line Pressure?

    I would highly recommend not putting pressure to the PT pump. They are designed for vacuum not pressure. Warren from premco told me no more than 5psi max to the pt pump if you decide to run a pump. It can destroy the seals and orings and cause failures. I wanted to run a FASS and just had my...

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Decided to replace the ditch lights with the trucklight floodlights. They added a decent amount of light up high if needed off road. I moved the old ditch lights to corner of the bed near the market lights. This helps with visibility on the sides of the truck. Turned out well. Will need to...

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Got the rest of the rims painted and decided to paint the tow bar semi gloss black. Wanted some contrast up front to break up the green. Turned out nice.

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Repainted the wheels flat black. Finished touch up paint on the stack. Also decided to change the towbar color. I painted it semigloss black. Will give more contrast mounted to the bumper. I also got a good deal on some trucklite military led flood lights so im going to run those for ditch...

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Spoke with Warren at premco about running a Fass. My buddy runs one on his m925a1 and I was considering it. Warren stated he would not run one. If you choose to run a lift pump he said 5-8psi max. The pump is designed to pull vacuum not take pressure and the PT Pump can be over pressured...

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Decided to paint exhaust stack. Scuffed with sandpaper and cleaned with xylene. Used high temp primer. I tried to tape off as much as I could. Once it dried I applied high temp flat black. Rated for 2000F. Should hold up. Gotta fix overspray. I also got this reflective heat blanket...

    An easier way to turbo an M800 truck

    Have you thought of drilling and taping #6 cylinder to get the most accurate temps? That's what I did on my setup.

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Got the shock today. Talk about a waste. We wonder why cost is up in America. This giant cardboard box for the smallest shock. Also a side by side comparison for those that are looking for a good alternative to the military shock. I had my Fiance step on the base so I could get the top...

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    The seat shock finally bit the dust on the videos posted above. Ordered a new monroe 66104. It's used in atvs. Gas shock. It's 1 inch shorter give or take than the military shock. I have put them in 4 deuce seats and they work awesome.

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    No leaks! After truck is warm oil pressure drops 35psi at idle. Under throttle it's about 70psi warm. Much more accurate than the old sending unit. Truck ran flawless. Below are some posted links of the truck with the gauges showing pump pressure, egts, boost, etc.

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Didnt get any photos of the an line behind the dash but I got it to fit. I got a photo of the an line attached to the block. I removed the speedometer cable and used that hole to insert the new line. Will fire truck up tomorrow and make sure there's no more leaks.

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Thought I was out of the woods but putting the gauge cluster back in caused a leak near the fitting at the gauge. Not much room behind that cluster. Luckily I had some -4an ptfe line with fittings. Can support more pressure and larger diameter. I moved the location of the line and I'm going...

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Got the gauge installed. Put a T fitting at the block so I can run a fass down the road. Used a 24v led green bulb like other gauges so it works with high/low function. Purged the air from the gauge. Gauge reads 85psi old. Old gauge was 60psi cold. Overall pleased with results. I am...

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Got the old oil pressure gauge out. That was not easy. Got the new copper line run and the fitting to the gauge. Tomorrow I'll test it to make sure it works and hook the electric up.

    Thanks Superthermal, permanent rapid weightloss. Haha

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Got the spare tire up in position. So much more room for activities! I kept the spacers I used for the 16r20s in place. Fits well. I'm guessing I lost about 1000lbs of weight switching from 16r20s to 395s.

    Oil pressure gauge came in today. Plans to get it installed tomorrow.
