If you could only buy one for your 6.0L, what size and range would you get?

I don't own a 6.0 but a1/2 inch 50-250 ft lbs torque wrench Is what I would have if I could only have one. If you are looking to buy one for a decent price check out the Tekton tourque wrench on Amazon.

I haven't found just one that covers the whole range but if I could keep only one, it'd be my 1/2" drive, 25 to 250 lb-ft with a 3/8" adapter. I'd have to wing it on some of the smaller fasteners and a couple of the big ones!

With all of the little low torque stuff on the 6.0, I'd be recommending an electronic 3/8". ...and a 1/2" clicker. There's no do-all, but a 1/2" is a bit much for oil cooler housing bolts and filter tower screws and the like.

for the 6.0 you need both; one in ft-lb and one in in-lb.
so 1/2" and 3/8".

Electronic display with audible tone would be the best.

Went with the Tekton, all three actually. 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2" drives.
