I did not think of driving the flat tire onto a piece of wood. Good idea. 12 tons is what I happened to have. It was smaller than my 20 ton. :).

I had both. It was a long slice in the tire. Did not appear pluggable

It’s been about ten years. I think I ordered it from the dealer.

99FG 12k lbs. My truck did not come with a Jack.

Had a flat today. I suspected my bottle Jack might be too tall to fit under the axle with a flat tire. I was correct. Ended up jacking on the bottom of the spring. It worked but not ideal. What are others doing? 99FG

I just bought a new one for mine and pushed it it after it failed. Pretty simple replacement

Using your VIN a dealer should be able to tell you if the recalls have been done

Curious about your thoughts. A front door is really convenient but all the cold falls out when you open the door. I’ve thought that if I replaced my 3 way I’d go with a top loading compressor fridge. Did you consider it? (We have a Unique 60L in our boat).

Northstar TS1000 in 50+ mph. Was concerned the first time but slept. I don’t think much about it anymore.

Swapping a 3 way for a compressor?

I was trying to imagine the role of this valve in the standard common rail fuel return system? Does it only open in overpressure or does it routinely open to return fuel?

The IP produces the pressure but this valve must relieve it. Under what conditions does the pressure need to be relieved.

That thought had crossed my mind.

I'm not very familiar with the operation of common rail systems. Can anyone explain the role of that Pressure Control Valve in the system? Relieves pressure when engine shuts off? Bleeds off excess pressure when engine is running?

Thanks for the suggestions. Anybody run these?

Looks like I'll be needing a new set of tires for my 1999 FG in the near future. Currently running 235/85/16 Cooper Discoverer AT3. Still have OE rims and duals. Would prefer a taller tire if possible. Anybody have any recommendations for a taller tire which would work well?

If that’s the case, pumping the primer should resolve it, or adding a separate tank with gravity feed should stop the problem. The fact that it started with the return lines blocked seems to indicate inadequate fuel flow of some kind.

How were the glowplugs confirmed to be operational?

from what I have read in other posts, they are positioned lightly upward and pulled down into the horizontal position for attachment so there is some slight torsion on them in the up position.

That being said, you did add weight with the plywood decking. The roof on our northstar is basically aluminum skin, styrofoam and 1/8" luan ceiling with a rim of 3"x 1/2" around the whole roof. Plus the 1" plywood sides. Very lightly built
