what parts do you carry with you?

[Gubni]

I've noticed several people state that they have this or that with them when they had a problem with their truck. So whats a normal list of stuff to keep in the truck?

Thanks - newbie

I've heard CPS, Fuel filter , but I'm fairly new at this also

i really don't keep any particular ford items with me in the truck, but i guess a good item would be to have an extra alt. belt on hand. maybe an extra fuel filter, boost tube clamps,etc. i do believe that hand tools are a must to have on board. here is a list of some of the tools/fluids i keep on the truck.

jumper cables/jump box
diesel kleen additive
coolant
WD40
1/4, 3/8, 1/2 sockets and ratchets standard and metric
wrenches standard and metric
pliers (little & big)
vise grips
test light
wire cutters
electricians tape, duct tape (can be used to temp. repair a hose with a hole in it)
elec. butt connectors, 3way connectors, etc.
screwdrivers of all kinds
tire repair stuff
files
all kinds of stuff basically

now my truck is a 6.0, so i really don't know what you may need if your truck is older. i'm sure some others will chime in later.

I'm just concerned with spare parts that you carry with you.

What is this "diesel power service 911 ( in the red )"

 

[roosterdiesel]

The "red" Powerservice is for gelled fuel and basically ungels it. I carry Meltdown from FPPF for that, also carry Fuel Power for B20 fuel.


Parts...CPS, serpentine belt, stock fuel filter, pre-pump filter(900fh), coolant filter, air filter, assorted fuses, gallon of oil and coolant.

Several tools like others. I also carry a fire exitnguisher since there are high pressure oil lines that can leak and cause a fire.

How would I know if I had gelled fuel?

 

[roosterdiesel]

You are somewhere with very cold temps and truck runs bad and stumbles. If you look in the filter housing you also see cloudy or actual waxy looking substance on the filter.

oh yeah, fire extinguisher is a must, i have to have one since i use mine for hire (good ole DOT regulations, right in the cab)
