I bought a new set of standard gearwrenches..mime had been run over m didmt ratchet.amdna xouple ledt on the truck ect ect

I hope to God you've been drinking?

Somebody'* been using a funnel !
Anyways who does not like tools, I got some of these..

Needed a new one of these for Park Ave Trunk:

I Keep a 163 socket in trunk too, with a separate box of pliers/hammers/tire repair clamps /jumpers first aid etc...etc.

I bought an Actron CP9580 scanner. It accesses a data base that gives vehicle specific suggestions for how to correct any codes it detects, and it can scan and record, but the main reason I bought it is it reads all ABS codes for 96 and newer Ford, GM and Chrysler vehicles. I am hoping this will allow me to diagnose why my Service Stability System light is on. They have a slightly less expensive scanner that just reads ABS codes, but the best price I saw for that one was $80, and I got the full function version for $100.

For ABS issues, it not only tells you what the trouble code is, it directs you to the most likely cause. For example, it will tell you the right front wheel speed sensor is malfunctioning.

At least that is what is advertised to do. I will find out for sure as soon as I receive it.

The Stability System is a lot more than just the ABS though...

I need to pick up a couple sockets soon. Apparently I broke my 1/2" cheap walmart socket when I installed my STB. I didn't notice it until I saw the big crack in the side yesterday

That'* why if I buy tools from Walmart, it'* Stanley. I've TRIED to break their stuff.

I know, but according to the literature it will read codes for vehicle speed sensors, wheel speed sensors, EBCM, etc. Only things left are yaw and steering wheel position sensors, and I will find out if it reads those or not.

Yeah, that was just a cheap set I picked up last year for around $30. It'* fine for small things though..sort of. I think it'* time to start upgrading one piece at a time. lol

I really like that Actron CP9580 scanner Roy! Where did u score that price? I think retail is about $200 on that one? Nice thing also it reads the IM freeze data etc...
ActronŽ
I want one too!
