[@JoseDiaz-bk9mh]

As a diesel mechanic that works on only Peterbilts and kenworths, all you really need is a 9/16 socket, 3/8 ratchet, two adjustable wrenches, and a pen light.

[@hillwood24]

Incredible engineering if so.

[@totemnihil6099]

If you work on freightliners and internationals you need to add a 7/16 socket and a screwdriver

[@gt3jacoby]

And a big ass hammer

[@achapla]

I love picturing that your 'toolbox' is just a lunch tray with those 5 tools on it lol

[@evanm9026]

40 dollars to start hourly. Get paid to replace stickers and to do oil changes. You know you made it. 👏🏼

[@reynaarroyo7439]

Really

[@gravedipper]

Even though he has previous mechanic experience entry level diesel tech you make low to mid 20's if your lucky. And those that say regular auto experience will get you a job in the diesel industry above entry this shows no the diesel is different and a whole nother ball game to gas

nah you made it when your doing 110 an hour for yourself. keep going tho

[@craigtomczyk3452]

Finally someone who also sees the truth on the snap on cordless ratchets. They feel more like an actual air ratchet that I’m used to and I just like that better.

[@JesusGarcia-bb2ut]

Im not gonna lie. Snap on has a pretty good 1/4 head. It gets in places that some Milwaukee will have trouble getting into. Pretty helpful on the new Ford trucks when you’re trying to do an oil pan job

[@TheRockIsCooking]

3/8 Extended cordless ratchet is the tool I use every single day and probably my most handy tool

[@MrBootylicka]

Dope to see you switch to diesel! When you start doing more in depth repairs I’d recommend getting a slack adjuster release tool, a cage bolt socket, SAE angle wrenches, stubby SAE wrenches and maybe some driveline sockets specific to the tractors you’ll be working on

[@redneckrules5812]

9/16, 5/8, 3/4 (get that extra deep 🤪 for brakes and carrier bearing bolts. 7/8 mack rears, get offset 60. 15/16 super common. Up to 1 1/2" needed

[@goldcoastpythons2693]

It's just called a "slack adjuster"

[@mikemuzzell5167]

100% that will do more then ppl think.

[@Tcorellis-j6d]

Get a nice set of swivel impact sockets , you prolly don’t need a set but it’s nice to have a set rather than buy individuals and miss one you need. I use 1-1/8 , 24mm 3/4 and 5/8 the most but again a set is ideal JUST IN CASE

[@iankerr1549]

What are you talking about? He’s talking about the tool to release them??? No the slack adjuster itself 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

I recently left the shop I was at it was an independent chain shop now I’m at a dealership I just started the week of the 4th of July and they are paying almost 3 dollars an hour more then I was getting at my previous shop the difference is crazy the dealer makes getting cars done way more efficient having a parts guy that brings everything right out to you

[@jonathanalonzo6097]

Wow this is great I watched your automotive vids and seeing you swap to the industry I work in is amazing ! I started as an entry level heavy duty diesel tech at 17. Im now 18 and have learned a whole lot since I started. Im not doing any engine repairs yet but I am doing more than just oil changes and still learning. But hey keep it up! love seeing you being a part of this industry !

[@wilbertcoria4768]

Hell yeah bro its my firs week at a diesel fleet company after finishing school

[@jetro7349]

1. Every filter wrench ever made 2. Tire inflator with extra long whip 3. 2 sets of standard wrenches

[@zues2013]

I remember showing up at the shop day 1 transferring to diesel. You need both metric and ase up to 35mm and 11/2 at a bare minimal. Same goes for wrenches. Peterbuilt freightliner and international are big boy fasteners lol.

[@ronniethree2000]

It’s crazy I started working on equipment and it’s common to see 2 in hydraulic fittings

[@OnefastAZfarmtruck]

You don’t need a whole lot of tools. I did a Cummins swap, front end rebuilds, etc…with an engine hoist and only the tools I can fit in my old craftsman tool box. A cordless impact made life much easier

[@FusionKota]

Bro I've been a diesel tech for over a year now, I work on tractor semis. We only operate 3 different models and brands which is really nice, so I can specify the tools I need. I can do nearly anything with a 4 drawer harbor freight cart hahaha. 5th wheel rebuilds, rad replacements, fuel tanks, def system work, pretty much anything that doesn't involve engine and transmission work. We HARDLY ever have to do any of that since we don't keep our trucks for more than a few years. Buy em brand new and sell em after 450k. The Ole harbor freight basically replaced my 55inch Matco chest. It just sits on the side of the shop as over flow storage. I wanna sell it but nobody wants to pay 3k out of pocket for a tool box on FB market place lmao. Also I HIGHLY recommend an air powered coolant pressure tester. Saves you the hassle of pumping a 10 gallon cooling system lol

[@michaelwright1602]

So true on the tools, you can put them in a bag for the most part. A handful of sockets, and a few wrenches can get most jobs completed. I have the 1/4" GearWrench 120XP socket set in a box, I think I use that more than anything on my truck. I own a truck, and do most all of my own wrenching. Working on a buddies right now, and all my tools fit in a very small tote box that I needed for that job.

[@davycruz7812]

I recommend the snap on 40” roll cab with sliding top if you ever looking for more room, you can fit a lot of tools and still move it around the shop where you need to work.

[@LetsDriftMedia]

That thing is sick. A coworker here has one in that light grey 👌

[@davycruz7812]

@@LetsDriftMedia I got one in candy apple red with bed liner top, kinda regret the bed liner cause the stainless is easier to clean and you can write in sharpie on it to label bolts and specs down when doing a job.

[@johnsalcido5436]

My boy is missing an entire SAE tool set 😅 here at the farm everything is SAE! From tractors, to implements, to our old trucks. I only use metric when working my personal cars haha

[@spawnandbatman6975]

I’m trying to get into this field as well. Going to be getting into a school where I can get my certs done etc. I’m almost done with my contract in the Army for aviation which is about 6 years so I have a good amount of mechanical experience. I was going to stay in aviation but I’ve always enjoyed automotive repair for some reason. The biggest thing is that you will learn so much that you should be able to do most if not all your repairs on your personal vehicles rather then having to take it to a stealership. Plus you build a tool arsenal that pays itself off eventually.

[@Brsrkr_71]

I have had both the milwaukee and snap on ratchets and milwaukee will definitely do the job snap-on is definitely a heavier duty ratchet no major difference in power output from what I have been using them for. Keep at it, diesel service is a great gig

[@LetsDriftMedia]

Nice, I I mainly favor snap on for the button trigger and tool size opposed to Milwaukee's. All comes to personal preference is all.

[@klo1679]

Back when I was an Isuzu dealer tech i had a similar type of setup for servicing. Now I’m a tractor field tech and run out of a work truck, I can’t fathom working professionally out of a smaller box anymore. I can, but prefer not.

[@extrasteez5727]

Also I can't agree on the cordless ratchets man. I use the Matco 16v it's great. Literally breaks loose 14mm bell housing bolts on Toyotas it's great

[@LetsDriftMedia]

Nice I like the icon sockets. I broke a t25 torx bit the other day with little torque so not too sure about those anymore. And I like the matco ratchets over the Milwaukee ratchets. But not over snap on Tim not a snap on everything guy either I just like snap ons electric ratchets lol

[@extrasteez5727]

@@LetsDriftMedia that's fair. And yea honestly the majority of my box is icon I have just about every tool they have. It kind of works out because if I lose one of my icon sockets I'll replace it with a snap on socket and it fits in perfectly lol.

Not a bad set up for an entry level tech. Surprised you don’t have a creeper, and by the lack of SAE. I do a lot of work from my back and see a lot of freedom fasteners on the chassis side in HD. As always though you have the tools for the job you’re doing and that’s the way to go.

[@LetsDriftMedia]

Thanks forgot to mention my creeper. Def a must have. Yea I noticed the equipment that is rigged to the trucks is usually SAE. But since I don’t really work on that haven’t needed em yet

[@dasphoenixable]

@@LetsDriftMedia For the most part you can get away with metric on the engine side these days. In a fleet you won’t see anything old enough to be SAE. If you stick with it and move up you’ll find the joys of buying everything twice and getting larger and larger sizes lol.
