I have done a search on here and have some unanswered questions. I have never had a scanner before just code readers so this is all new to me. How do I know what version of software it has? Does it matter what version of software it has? Does the software have to be updated to use it? Sounds...

There was thread on this a while ago with many examples of different ratchets. Can't seem to find it.

If you choose to get rid of it, I may be interested.

Very nice. I have the same box same color and I absolutely love it.

I used a socket that size on a motor mount bolt in a 1995 Kenworth T300. May have been metric. I can't recall but the 1 3/16" worked. Impact gun with a socket on 1 side and breaker bar with a socket on the other.

Very handy for building and repair of oil and propane trucks.

Initial estimate was $350-$400. Came out at $520.16. He did take some labor off. **** happens. Pick your battles. It runs much quieter and needed to get fixed. Estimates are just educated guesses. I am glad to have it back. I don't have a place to do it, and quite honestly, I hate working on my...

A friend works there bit isn't the one doing the work. He called me and told me what was going on.

I am not suggesting the shop owner is trying to get more money out of me. He may cover it. I don't know yet. I know everyone who works for him and they are all extremely honest people.

Replacing broken exhaust manifold studs on V10 Ford Excursion. 1st tap broken on rear lower hole on driver's side. 2nd tap broken on upper front hole on driver's side. I have been doing this long enough to know things go wrong so I get it. In my shop where I work for a fleet, it is different...

Here's my dilemma. My vehicle is in the shop for work. In doing the work, the mechani busted 2 taps. Should I be responsible to pay the labor for removing them? If its only 15 minutes, I don't care but I think its safe to say it will be far more than that. I have worked in garages for over 5...

I am considering buying a riser for my 68" Epiq. Seems like the best bang for the buck for me. I realize it is basicly and empty box but I have a lot of tools in boxes taking up a lot of room in my box and this would be a good option. I have a few questions: 1. Do they hold up well? Any...

I went with a 68" because it was the box for me. When you spend that kind of money,, you ought to get the exact box you want. 84" is only 8" longer than the 76". Not much longer really. Get the box you really want. Don't settle.

You got that for 3k?! You ****!:thumbup:

I agree with you but that's the way it is. It probably won't ever change. Right or wrong, that's how it is. Techs make the biggest financial investment and make the least amount of money. I spend $150 + on tools. My employer doesn't care. If you want to make the money of a salesman, be a...
