    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

    General snap-on questions

    At least you admit that! Warranty with Snap On has been no problem for me, and usually it is a matter of wearing an impact socket out or broken torx bits. This also tells me that the quality is still top notch as the service truck life is not nice to tools. Just my actual experience.

    Oooh! I get to buy more tools...

    Are you going to have to jack it up to put that jack under it? Looks like it needs at least 11" ground clearance
