Awesome! Thanks for the info. I already have a good portion of the listed items and don't need the rest until fall, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to keep an eye out for good deals on the rest in the mean time.
If I can trouble you again, I've been reading "Troubleshooting & Repairing Diesel Engines" and "Heavy Duty Truck Systems" as a means of getting some familiarity. Are there any other sources you would suggest as far as books/websites/forums?
Take the opportunity. This tool is handy. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009W9BT0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
But actually most fasteners aren't that huge unless you're doing suspension work or heavy equipment. I did most of my work in school with a half inch ratchet and two rails that go to like 25mm and 1". I got a sunex deep impact set and a 1/2" nitrocat impact gun, and a tekton big wrench set. Also a precision instruments brand torque wrench, 1/2", does several hundred foot pounds. Got their inch pounds wrench too. Don't forget a long 1/2" breaker bar, pry bars, crows foot bar. And leave your adjustable wrench at home where it belongs, other than that rigid one I posted. =]
All that said, I later realized I want to work on sprinters, so I don't need that big of tools anyhow.
