Top 3 tools
Ok crew ... got a couple of gift cards for Christmas and would like opinions on the top 3 tools for working on your 1st gen CTD dodges ... my old piece is a 92 w250
I have ... standard and metric 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 drive sockets (not huge sets but basics)... basic open/box end wrenches... basic screwdrivers ... wrenches for oil/fuel filters...
specialty tools I have ...1992 FSM on CD ... socket for front hubs ... socket for rear axles...

Milwaukee Fuel 1/2 impact gun, while expensive, it is hands down the tool I use most in the shop.

Sorry Oliver ... my gift cards weren't quite that "gifty" !!!!
How do you stop the engine from turning over without the barring tool? Or is it just a easiest way ?
I'm not seeing the use of the "s" type wrenches... VE wrenches ??

The S wrenches are great for getting to the injection pump bolts for pump removal or timing changes.

I have the u shaped wrenches. Didn't have a pic of them, so I thought the s wrenches would suffice
