handful of tiewraps, the longer the better.
different size hose clamps, at least two long enough to patch together the air hoses on the turbo.
spare heater core hoses, and clamps.
10 gals of water or antifreeze, so when you have repaired the blown heater hose, you will be able refill the radiator. -
If you are a company driver why would you need most of those things?
I am not a mechanic, I am a driver!
Fuses, oil, coolant, and washer fluid is all ya need! -
might just be a driver but sitting in the lounge at a repair shot or earning money driving is better than waiting on the side of the road for a tow truck
