Road trip list

[JAKRANCH]

Hey all, with the holidays coming up I've been thinking about all the things I need to pack for several long distance trips. Spare fluids, everything to change a tire, selection of wrenches and sockets and other miscellaneous tools. I'm thinking about packing a spare fender mounted solenoid and a few other odds and ends. Does anybody have parts or tools they always pack when they travel a ways for our trucks?

might look into a emergency injection line
I also usually pack chains for the truck, and pulling chains.
Jack.
AAA?

Does anybody have parts or tools they always pack when they travel a ways for our trucks?

full set of screwdrivers, 3 channellocks, 6 different vise grips, pliers, 2 each 1/2", 9/16", 5/8" wrenches, 11-in-1 screwdriver
wiring and fuse kit (the cheap 2-sided case with all the different terminals) with 3 fuse holders
150' spool of 10ga wire, 4ga jumper cables
good spare, tire iron, 2 jack stands, and 2 10 ton bottle jacks
1/2" breaker bar and ratchet with 1/2"-1 1/2" sockets
12v trouble light, 18" crescent wrench, 12" pipe wrench
spare throttle cable
all 3 ball sizes and a pintle hook on individual hitches
1/2", 3/4", 1", and 1 1/2" schackles
30' tow strap, 20' tow chain, 2 20' tow ropes, 8 ratchet straps, 50' 3/8" double braid nylon rope
1 gal each: brake fluid, oil, coolant, mixed coolant, #1 diesel
PS white, 911, atf, oil & fuel filters
assortment of bolts/nuts/washers, box of self-tapping screws

old set of glasses, 12v heater

There are other things as well, aside from the tire, it all fits behind and under the seats and in a single milk crate and 5 gallon bucket in the bed
I keep the screwdrivers with the coloring stuff for the kids in the passenger door map pocket, the 3/8" socket set case fits in the drivers door map pocket


I changed the clutch on my truck once with nothing but tools IN my truck

I second the spare throttle cable. I had one break on my last trip I made. Luckily I was 2 miles from my bosses house, but 20 miles from home.

Starting fluid. Extra fuel filter.

Those are impressive lists. Thanks for sharing!

I typically vary things you don’t find at every parts store or TSC.

A spare and a set up nuts.
A real jack
Spare e-fuel lift pump (unless you are running mech pump)
I’ve been considering an emergency injector line
Assortment of hand tools.
A spare injector
Some extra fuel hose
Assorted electrical connectors and fuses.
A couple long jumper wires. Remember it does t actually take much to make the truck run even in the event of a total electrical meltdown.

That’s my short list on top of extra fluids.
