finally getting my truck, 2,000 mile drive, what tools

[Headshot zod]

thanks for the additional info bp... .....



So everything is squared away... . If anybody is thinking about buying a truck in Canada, don't unless you are Canadian (as you are upsetting Uncle Sam). OMG!!! I'll dedicate a special topic to the hoops I jumped through when I get back... .



Did I read correctly that the filter wrench size is 1-1/8", in case I need to do a filter swap. Is it doable at a rest stop? And about how long would it possibly take. Figure on a worst case mechanical scenario in addition to obscene weather conditions that would make Warren Faidley and the stormchasers shudder.



I had them order a belt, fluids and a couple filters.
