    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    I'm guessing they copied the higher pressure map over to all the unused program slots so if there's some wiring malfunction and it loads a different profile it's less likely to be "too low" as that would be more dangerous than too high if you're heavily loaded. But I have not actually checked...

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    Nothing that I can find. Looking in the software all the settings match 1088/1089. I just went with it. I was going to reroute to pin Z but my truck has no wire there so just because I'm lazy I checked the settings with it just cut and it was already set to what I wanted so I just left it that...

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    That's how I have my truck wired. I can select 55 or 81 with a toggle switch. Works with all the controllers I've tried. I went over that in post number 1 of this thread.

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    You don't have to do that - just cut wire number 1911 and leave it as an open circuit. That will enable 81 psi mode (M1088/M1089).

    So my company car is now a Jeep Sahara: My thoughts on an FMTV vs a Jeep of today and yesterday

    You misspelled Stellantis. Or Fiat..... Whichever is closer for that particular model of their progeny. "Jeep" is a brand name. Fully owned by a European investment group that is not headquartered in the USA therefore Jeep is no longer an American brand. Not that this matters in the slightest...

    A Shocking thread, A1 Monroe 65456

    Pretty much noises or leaking or the bushings are falling out, etc. If you don't see any oily stains streaking down from the shaft - it's likely just about as good as when it was made...... Which is not a statement of suitability for any particular purpose.

    A Shocking thread, A1 Monroe 65456

    I've installed several BRAND NEW (not even old stock - as in manufactured in the last 2-3 years) shocks and compared them to my 2008 units and can discern no difference between them. If you move them slow they move very easy. If you try to move them fast they get so stiff you can't move them at...

    M1078A1R Offroad Behavior/Question

    Deleting the springs turned them into a simple shock - other than *not* buying a new thing - I did "delete" them in the sense that they aren't a coil over anymore. It was a free modification that ended up making a lot of sense. I'm still technically using the stock parts though so I'm calling...

    A Shocking thread, A1 Monroe 65456

    They aren't nitrogen filled shocks. I've never seen one fail that wasn't rusted out. And in any case they are all over the place being used on A1P2's manufacturered up through 2021 and will still be used on the A2 wrecker that is staying with the A1P2 LTAS cab layout. So these will be literally...

    A Shocking thread, A1 Monroe 65456

    I would just encourage you to delete the coil spring first, install a habitat second, and then the third step will be deciding if you even need to do anything else once you have removed the armor package springs and have full habitat weight........ I'm not. It's perfectly fine IMO. And I'm not...

    M1078A1R Offroad Behavior/Question

    Locking the center does cause the driverain to bind - even on loose surfaces - rocks, etc - the axle will stll bind since it has no differentiation so the driveshafts are going to unload when the binding overcomes the friction - there will be *less* friction on loose rocks but not zero so it's...

    PSA - How to fix a locked out tire crane ram.

    Had one lock out hard and didn't have the time to wait for it to possibly bleed down and it probably would not have bled down since the fluid was basically chunky mud. So if there's a tire on there, pull the shrader core and deflate it. This will give better access to the cotter pins to remove...

    Alternator Suggestions?

    That diag port usually has a cap on a chain covering it for use. That is a CANBUS and diagnostic port that is not used on the FMTV A1's. It can be hooked into the J1939 and the VR will report alternator RPM, temperature, both voltage outputs, load percentage, and likely a few more things that...

    Alternator Suggestions?

    There is no voltage regulator wiring to "figure out" - it's just the E ring terminal that gets the K11 relay signal to start the alternator. Same as the 100. The wiring between the two is absolutely identical. RPM is no issue. The alternator makes it's rated power by the time the engine is at...
