If it's not an A1R (2008 and later) it has the 100a alt.
Absolutely drop to dual batteries.
I don't have this diagram for the "With Disconnect Switch" but I think it's still the same.
I use this on my M1079 with dual batteries.
It's permanently mounted in my battery box with the 120v plug sticking out near the NATO port
Flip the battery disconnect, plug the 120v in for the night, done.

Usually from someone parting out a truck (and they are typically about the same price as a used tank).
Or from civilian applications (I've seen an over-the-counter solution but it was about the same price, as much as a couple hundred ea and typically need some form of modification). *I may have...
Not yet. Re-ruptured this lower back/disc issue. Not interested in surgery and it takes months to heal up after it blows out.
My buddy told me he'd help me out when he returns from his surf trip to Mex later this month.
I've been eyeballing it, and I honestly think I can do the repair if I...
No, but it shouldn't need to.
With the controller disconnected, the tire pressure remains at it's current psi indefinitely.
If it's not holding psi, you have a leak(s).
Ideally, you do NOT want the CTIS system compensating for leaks.
"I’m assured that the forklift operator was careful and used both his cane and his seeing eye dog."
I've seen GP Complaints (on FB) where the vic was undamaged in the auction photos and then damaged after the sale.
The GP response is always "tough s***"
Seems they are not responsible for ANY...
Yeah, it's obviously not the CTIS controller itself.
Unplugged, the tire pressure should hold whatever the pressure is set for indefinitely.
*also note that you can fry the controller plugging/unplugging it while it's power supply is hot so always be sure all power is off before...
The Monroes are also 2" diameter shock bodies vs the 3" OEM body, iirc.
Larger dia equates to larger compression/rebound/reserve chambers internally and thus the ability to dampen more weight.
It is a pity that S&S/BAE didn't source a more common industrial shock size.
As a result, you can...
When I got my truck, I added an LED flood as a backup light (as well as a strobe and a industrial beeper).
The flood light came as a pair, so the second one got tossed into the cab as an interior light.
Works like a charm and I think I paid $12 for the pair on Amazon.

"I was hoping to be able to manually steer the truck when maneuvering it in my driveway. Is this feasible?"
Zero chance steering by hand if stationary. But you can manipulate if (although only a very small amount) as it rolls.
I had to (flat tow) push a parts truck back into a very narrow...
That reminds me, I've been trying to source the rubber plug(s) that go in the steering column.
Seems like a pretty simple part, but I hit three local places and none had a viable fit. It's nothing special, just a rubber sheet metal hole plug.
I thought I had seen them in the spreadsheet but...
