Well, what spare parts and tools do you carry with you when on the road???
I carry a IPR, CPS, ICP sensor, EOT sensor, a few glow plugs, one injector o ring kit (going to get a complete set of 8 soon but...), a fwe nuts and bolts to fit differant things and some T clamps that fit a few things...
Tool wise, I carry enough tools to tear down the top end of the motor. Other then a Valve spring compressor (might throw a harbor freight one in there)... A deep 1 1/8" socket for the IPR and a few other modifided tools for things...

I want to add a 1/4" air ratchet but have not yet.

lately its been i good idea for me too have the tow truck companys phone #

 

Too add to this, I also carry a oil filter, fuel filters (stock bowl deleted) and water filter... But only one gallon of coolant and no oil... Need to add to my tool box a gallon or two of oil.

Please don't tell me you haul all that stuff with you all the time??? I call that cyclical reasoning, I have a big truck so I need a lot of parts; I have a lot of parts so I need a big truck to haul them... More power to you!

I wish I had that many spare parts to carry around. If I'm going on a road trip I'll carry a few essentials, tools, fluids, injector, CPS.

 

That's more than I would carry!!!
I see you have good taste in drinking water, too.

 

Looks about like mine... I do not carry an injector break out box but...LOL











I'll have to get a pic of the tool box now... Its packed will everything!

 

Wow Andy, that is impressive. Got to know what you'd use the palm sander for?

 

Cleaning injectors....

 

Haha that's just what's there after driving it for 11 years. Besides, there's even less room in my garage than in my truck. Dirt bikes, Bridgeport, band saw, lathe, welder, beer fridge, tool boxes, parts for my 64 Falcon, parts for my dune buggy, etc. hog up all the garage space.

 

Thats what i keep handy.....
Welcome home, Thank you for your service

 

Wow it was like a where's Waldo moment trying to find the sander. I used to "hand finish" machined and welded assemblies in parking lots trying to make the delivery schedule of our crazy busy customer.

Thats pretty depressing to be driving something that unreliable that you have to pack all that.
Ive never owned a truck before that I had to pack a full set of tools and spare parts with me.
Ive had a bunch of old Fords around 77-79 and I barley packed a spare tire let alone a bunch of spare parts.
