Hi and Welcome to the Site!
So, the simple fact is that CTIS has nothing to do with your radiator. I mean I know that both things happened at the same time - but they aren't connected by plumbing - in any way. There are several valves in the CTIS system.
So, take a look at this thread...

Welcome to the Outfit!
Yessir, you are in for a fun time. It might be worth buying a multi-meter if you don't already own one. It will help you a lot to go fetch the TM's (Technical Manuals) for your new unit...

Hi @Klaus ,
You shouldn't have any trouble loosing air by applying the brakes. You only exhaust air when you release the peddle. Don't want to ride the brakes either but if you are in hilly country, start off down the hill slowly. Down shift before you need to! Just remember that you go...

You can definitely clear a stuck shoe with a 3lb Hammer against the shoe - the metal part of the shoe. Whatever you do, don't try to pry the shoe away from the drum. You will end up with a cracked shoe. You might even use a 1 inch piece of metal to drive the shoe loose from the drum.

I would have the TMs (Technical Manuals) that you downloaded handy when your guy arrives. OR, you might point him directly to the books so he can download them himself. That might help him with diagnosing the problem...

Just remember: The Jeep - loaded in the back of your truck - is almost dead level with the back of your seat. You don't want it to get loose. Either inside or outside of the truck...
And when you tie it down, put more emphasis on limiting forward motion.

I would give it another 6 pumps and look again. Kinda depends on how much grease your gun pumps, but I would think you should see something happening pretty soon...

Roughly a foot square. AND a piece the same size on the bottom of the bed as well. That way you have a lot more to "rip out" if everything goes bad.
Maybe quarter inch plate...

We can definitely discuss an active auction - under the rules - here is the info:
Auction Postings:
Please abide by the following rules concerning the posting of auction information in the forums:
• You may post links to auctions. However, you MUST observe the previous rules about collusion...

I am of the opinion that 4 D-Rings in the four corners of the bed would be a good plan. Tie-downs that went through the bed attaching your vehicle to the frame would be even better.
