Drill out the base and add a shraeder valve in place of the rubber disk and plastic pin dongle thing. Check it for moisture once a month. Or replace it. $40 or so.
The tires will stay on the rim at any pressure. They have bead locks.
I look at it this way:
1. The front of the truck weighs about 10k lbs. It's supported by 2 tires (the fronts). 25 PSI is Sand/Mud. It works and looks pretty bulgy.
2. The rear is about the same (10k lbs), but is...
I think setting the parking brake (venting the spring brake chambers) sounds more like a goose being strangled.
The CTIS purging air sounds like a long honk.
The CTIS checking pressure sounds like a regular honk.
The air dryer purging when the tanks hit max pressure sounds like an air dryer...
25psi is the sand/mud setting on the CTIS.
12psi is "emergency" (for extreme situations)
Drop it all to "Sand/Mud" (25), shut the truck down, unplug the computer and drop the rears (unloaded) to 17psi. Leave the fronts at 25psi. The speed limit at these pressures is about 25mph. The...
As mentioned above, make shallow turns (wide) and speed up for very soft sand.
Always plan on stopping you truck facing downhill (or flat), never uphill.
Don't forget your shovel.
When in doubt, hammer down. :)

Reverse is just over 10:1 ratio (DEEP). So, basically, engaging the transfer case in reverse is SUPER STEEP (over 18:1). It's a good way to tear apart your transfer case on any of the versions. Floor your truck in reverse (high range) and you'll see what I mean...you'll be going sloooowwww.
