Hmmm...30# front and rear for M38Al/2.

Makes me wonder why the Operator's Manual quotes 28#, yet most vehs had 25# stencilled above their wheel well???

This CFTO changed a number of the "operators manual" recommended pressures. I am positive there is a later version of this, as the pressures given for the 5/4 ton are way off. The 5/4 required a fairly low pressure in the front (30 psi if I recall) in order to prevent drive line wrap up on the full time four wheel drive.

Note as well that these are maximum pressures, which means a fully loaded vehicle.

Also, this was a CFTO that would have been in the maintenance section. These CFTOs were not really available to the users, and as such, if the maintenance section did not tell the MTs, then they would have never known about it.

5/4 ton tire pressure
 
Rob,
I was going to ask you about this recomended tire pressure for the 5/4 ton.I thought it was high but wanted to ask you first before I pumped mine up to 75 pounds!
