    Any tips for jacking trucks in soft ground?

    I've had to use the crane on my service truck to pick up a front corner before when I couldn't get a jack under it. I sure wouldn't trust getting under it, but you can change a tire that way

    the mythical 30 weight nondetergent oil

    Delo 100. Used to dump a couple gallons in the old 2 stroke Detroit diesel so it could leak out of every gasket and seal while converting diesel fuel into ear shattering noise.

    ICON 3/8 Semi-deep chrome

    The knurling is an snap on clone. I'm sure they're just as good for a tenth of the cost! I use almost all mid length sockets in 3/8ths drive. It's the only way I can remove the socket from my dual 80 ratchets without a prybar

    Any Skyjack scissor Lift techs out there?

    The pump you hear sounds like it's trying to release the brakes. I have a Skyjack boom lift that has started no releasing the brakes after it sits a while. Mine has an emergency brake release, and if I push pull it about 10 times everything works again
