    While jump starting does have the potential to send a voltage spike down the system, I don't think internally shorted batteries would cause this type of damage. Then again strange things can happen. If the ECU can't handle a voltage spike the engineer who designed it was a HACK. There are...

    suitable battery replacement for M1088

    I got my 24Fs from Interstate Battery and got "blems" for 29.99 each. I have had zero issues with blems and have been running for years. . They also have a 1 year non prorated Warranty . I think the next time I got battries I think I'll get 2 24F and 2 24. The "F" is for Ford and the terimnals...

    More CTIS questions...

    I'll try to make sence... Just woke up and coffee blood level isn't right yet. M and Z are how they allow the same ECU to be used between different model vehicles. They can used those to pins to come up with 9 options or variants. Here is a page from the manual. Config1 is M and Config2 is Z...

    More CTIS questions...

    H and F are the power in. M sets the configuration of the ECU. The ECU has the ability to have 9 different configurations. Does anyone have the schematic of the later trucks?
