What tools/parts to keep in the truck?

Unless I missed it in another post, I carry what's already been said, plus a quality multimeter, two 50' rolls of wire, various crimp connectors, and a baggie with shrink tube, solder, and flux. Also a sweet test light that does 6-12-24 volts, plus continuity. As far as parts go, I only carry belts and filters. A hook would cost more than what my truck is worth, so I guess I'd just set it on fire and roll the dice between insurance fraud paying out or sending me to prison.

 

Nice! I am fortunate that I pull a reefer, because I hooked up 2 single post outlets, (commonly referred to as a stinger cord) on my tractor and on my reefer unit. A hot wire runs to it from the batteries. If my truck won't start or my alternator goes bad on my truck or reefer I just connect the stinger cable to it and jump it.

 

Just reminded me to go adjust my brakes!

 

I have a few of those. Didn’t know what they were. Got them for a few bucks, plan on making jumper cables out of them, putting clamps on one end, so I can just plug it in when giving someone or getting a jump.

 

They come in handy. The I put them in on a Saturday, and Monday my truck would start, and it worked like a charm....

I do have a spare turbo I'm going to begin carrying. I need to get setup with spare tires.

I need to put tool boxes on my truck so that I can carry more!

 

First thing I'm doing when I get my new trailer is having two, not one but two spare racks put under it. Not gonna bother with my current trailer since it has skirts. I have one spare rack under it now. I want two.
