Being new in this 7.3 idi game and running through a few known issues with the truck, I am thinking since I have to order some things in, I might as well make it worth my while and stock up on the most common failures so I have them in a time of need.

Aside from glow plugs and belts, what else do you guys keep on hand in the garage to keep your truck on the road?

In the truck: Belts, used set of gps, crack-in-a-can, 4qt oil, fuel filter, 3/8" fuel line, bottle of power service, bottle of 911, hose clamp assortment, 1 qt brake fluid, ps fluid, 12v trouble light, 50' 12ga wire, terminal assortment, duct tape, elect tape, crayons/coloring books in the pass map pocket for the kids, 3/8" drive craftsman sae/metric socket set in the drivers map pocket (you can pull a t-19 with just that set :sly), battery terminals, 10ft 4 ga wire.......

I'm sure I'm forgetting some things....

At home: IP and sticks, spare return line o-rings, more gps, fuel filters, full oil change, fuel pump, gear lube, spare solenoids, extra starter, lots of RTV, timing meters............

I've got more parts than I need to, but no shops around here will touch these things anymore, and a few of the independent mechanics give me a call when they get one. ;Sweet

Nothing in the truck. At home I have everything. From bumper to bumper. New starter, return line kit, filters, and joints on the shelf. Gotta love parts trucks.
