Good ratcheting wrenches. There really aren't many specialty tools to take apart a psd. I highly recommend Auto Enginuity scan tool. Most obd2 scanners wont read psd trouble codes

I can't believe nobody has said it yet.... a DEEP 1 1/8" 6-point 1/2" drive socket. This is for the IPR(injection pressure regulator). My craftsman socket is the perfect depth. Some have reported that other brand sockets needed modifying to be able to fit all the way on the IPR.

Travis, good to know a craftsman socket will fit. I've had the IPR rebuild kit sitting in my glovebox for a while but have been to lazy to mess with a socket. Guess I should get that back on the to do list

Man, I totally forgot about the ratcheting wrenches. I have a couple sets of these and I have to say that they are the first wrenches I grab when I open the drawer. Get yourself a good set and you will be hooked!

Good morning all,
Thanks for a lot of great suggestions. Keep em coming.
I agree with the beer suggestion. But progress slows to a crawl when the beer comes out. Ya can't let them get warm, right?
I will have to look into the scan tool. I have a decent obd 2 + abs scanner but I haven't tried it on the psd yet. I doubt it will be compatible. I bought it long before considering a diesel.
The ratcheting wrenches are great. i have had the type with the swivel ends for a few years now. Great invention.
One tool I can think of that I want is a schrader valve adapter so I can hook up a pressure guage to the fuel bowl fitting for testing.
Is that a common tool? Who sells that stuff?
Thanks guys,
Joe

My truck is a fed, 2wd, manual trans.
I just made a tool for the rear hubs a couple weeks ago.
Did rear brakes, bearings, ebrake cables, etc.
Good idea on the spare cps.
Thanks,
Joe
