So im curious, what spare parts do you carry on the truck ? Do you do most of ur work ur self ?
Currently in my side box I have (also keep in mind I do most of my own repairs)
Turbo x1 (got this for free off a wrecked truck that had 80k on the motor)
5 gallons of pre mixed coolent
4 gallons of Shell Rot.
Fuel and Oil filters
Assorted main coolent hoses
Jumpers
Alternator
Water pump (also free)
Assorted sensors
Tools.
Alot of this stuff I have collected is mainly incase I break down on the road I have a decent chance if its something simple avoiding a road call.
How about you guys ?
Whats in your sidebox ?

4 different air pressure gauges (I only know where 1 came from,.. how I got the other 3 is anybodys guess.,. like pens from the bank.. they just accumulate) Air chuck and air line to self inflate tires.
Spare pigtail and service air lines.

Most all of that is kept under the bunk or inside the cab in a bin with me. Fluids are in totes under the bunk.
