As a workaround, you could unhook your CTIS controller and air up the tires manually from the valve stems. I have thought about doing this for highway trips to inflate the tire a little more, try to eek out that last little bit of speed. Then when you get to where you are going to offroad...
The truck does start in second unless you put it into "MODE" which is not supposed to be used on hard surfaces like the road. Not sure about the higher ratio transmission, that would spin the driveshaft faster, and there is a thread here already about a study done on the FMTV driveshafts...
You said it feels the same from a dead stop, so acceleration is pretty much the same? How does it do when it start pulling a hill, does it downshift more? Even if it does downshift, with the change in gearing maybe it evens out?
