tools

Screwdrivers, torx drivers, adjustable wrenches, vise grips(!!), pliers assortment, 3/8 & 1/2 socket sets, wrenches, davco fuel filter wrench, hammer, wd-40, electrical & duct tape, spare bulbs, spare fuses, air line w/ glad hand & tire chuck, tire gauge, spare gladhands & seals, wire strippers/crimper, wire connectors, zip ties, jumper cables, magnetic pickup tool, magnetic parts dish, spare maxi brakes, air cut off tool, spare fuel filters, ether(starting fluid), mechanics gloves, leather gloves, collapsible ladder, 2 gallons of oil, gallon of anti-freeze, empty gallon jug to put water in, hub oil, grease gun w/ tubes of grease, RAGS, orange hand cleaner. That's all I can think of right now but the list of spare parts can get endless. A spare air compressor governor would be a good idea to carry.

If you are an owner/op, take the caging bolts out of the maxi brakes and store them in your toolbox. Eventually after everything corrodes you won't be able to get them out if you need them.

 

Good point about the caging bolts. A lot of this depends on your abilities to fix things and weather you are an O/O or company driver.

Look at pork chop on IRT!

 

Man PorkChop got kicked of.. I wonder if he can drive down here??

 

Another good thing to keep is a couple CAC pipe connectors. Not only in case one blows but ive cut a piece out of one to make a temp patch for a coolant line.

 

Along with everything others have listed, a roll of teflon thread tape, and a good pair of tin snips for cutting metal banding and other stuff.

 

That's what the Rescue Tape is for.

 

coupler's for coolant and boost hoses W clamps. Last thing you want is going through the mtn's without boost. Been there done that. I shoulda just called road service it woulda took just as long.

 

Hadnt heard of it this thread. After reading the website ill have to get a roll. I like how it lists temporary fan belt as something it can handle.

 

3 pages of tools and no one mentioned a filter or strap wrench, 10 ton jack or a wrench for changing tires.
