    Service manuals for a 1998 Chevy k2500?

    I would recommend the charm.li link he provided. I pay for service info from several sources, but I use charm.li in the field for anything older because you can search so fast.

    Car Jump starter recommendation, avoid NOCO please

    I have a Topdon JS3000. I've only used it 25-30 times so far, but it will start an 6.0 Powerstroke with batteries that are so dead it won't even click with ease. I got it compliment my JNC660 which can't start most diesels if they are completely dead.

    Recommend me a shop vac that isn’t Craftsman and works well for auto detailing…

    I'm a huge fan of the Milwaukee M18 Wet/Dry vac. I can't go back to being corded.

    Tell me about VIM tools

    They used to run really good sales and closeouts on their website. They had a sale on long 1/4" bit driver sets. I bought the SAE and Metric hex and a torx set and when they arrived it was all Matco branded. I've been very happy with it. I also bought one of their spring load universal funnels...

    Milwaukee hand tool warranty

    Hex socket head extractors ?

    I have a set. They work OK. Better than a standard hex, but maybe not as well as pounding in the next size up Torx. I bought them because I had a Mercedes fan clutch that was stripped, I needed to get it done that day, and I don't have a Mac guy in my town. O'Riley had the Zeons in stock in...

    I am looking for decent Automotive Battery Charger and need help.

    https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/SORCPL2320?impressionRank=1 I like this one for the power supply mode. Smart chargers can be fussy with dead batteries, this one will charge no matter what. I also still use my big Mac wheeled battery boiler all the time too.
