I plugged the exhaust on my webasto with mud. It got a code as well. After factory rep looked it over said all
good, looked like a fuel code. So I replaced the pump and filter. Doesn't seem as hot, but it works.
The fueling makes me nervous for some reason. Hope it works for you now.

@coldtaco ..... "Charles, did you loose your tie clip?"
... Been wondering what happened to that.

Studs on my snow boots were wore out so pulled all the studs(about 6hrs of pain). Got new studs-grooves-sipping. Should be good for a couple more seasons. First pic is tire with old studs next to studs removed.

Since I had the truck the front tank would be pressurized every time I opened the fill cap so I finally tried to do something about it. After much hassle I got the filter for the vent removed and it did not let much air through, either way but I assume it is only supposed to flow one way. Got a small engine fuel filter from Napa and installed it. Will see after I drive the truck if this solved it. The bigger body one is the original.

All my Landcruisers and my Dyna truck have done that, petrol and diesels. I think its due to vapours separating from the fuel and expanding from being shook up. Rear tank does it also.

my rear one doesn't, or at least not that I notice.

I just went out and checked mine. It hasn't been started for over 24 hours but it still had a small amount of pressure in both tanks. The front one had slightly more. Its sitting in the sun on a cool day(for summer here) ,maybe 28-29c.
Maybe your rear tank has something not tight that allows it to vent off at the slightest pressure.
It not something I have ever worried about.
My old Dyna would almost blow the cap off as you unscrewed it on a hot day.

Now I am ready to face everything that winter has to throw at me.

I don't understand. Those seats were already heated in the Summer and cooled during the Winter.

I want the reverse

Replaced the original oil pressure valve with the longer one from Terrain Tamer. I found the right tool after I removed the power steering pump. I think with the right tool you can remove the nut and parts without moving the power steering pump.

Also replaced the heater firewall valve

Painted the tired looking crome.

As a matter of curiosity, why did you change the heater valve ?
not working or clogged ?

So, had a set of lj seats so I figured I would try them out. They sit a tad higher. They are actually quite comfortable, also has lumbar adjustment. I think I will keep them in here.
