I knew Matco made some that were a good length, it took me a while to find the part number and get the link. I thought that they would be more reasonable than Snap-On!! I have a set of the S-K, but they actually may be a bit too long, so I deleted that link.Thank you very much! Just bought the Matco T40 and T45's along with the Alliant brush kit. Had to pay a bit to get them here quickly, but, such is life...it's only money, right?
I think i'm 15/16ths ready now LOL

Every time the tool truck rolls in the shop lot
Williams also sells the little ratchet -- they make a lot of the tools for snap-onI posted these in another thread, but I use them a fair amount, so I thought I would add them here (there are a lot of other choices out there for similar tools):

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Such as life goes, there are times you have to bite the bullet and pay for truck work. Something came up and I couldn't get to swapping out the injector by the time we leave on Sunday for our camping trip. Rather than risking a soured trip with truck issues, had a guy I thoroughly trust change it out for me. Gonna drive it around a ton the next 3 days to test it out. Hopefully she's fixed...crossing my fingers. I will say that after the work when I picked it up yesterday, as soon as I fired it up I could tell a difference in the idle (better). This morning - same thing...idled smooth as glass. I could hear that stable HUMMMMMMM again that has been missing (missing...LOL - see what I did there
). Some of you on here will know what i'm talking about - if you don't, you may need an injector LOL.
Here's to good guys who happen to be mechanics you trust when you can' get to it! 🍻

Yeah, that's twice now within a few hours after reprogramming that specific tune that the truck has done this! I can't seem to get that out of my head...
I'm leaving everything stock for a week or two and see if it happens. If it's good, i'll load another tune from another writer and go another couple weeks. If it doesn't do it still, i'll load this specific tune back and see if it does it. If so, I have my answer. If it doesn't, I guess i'll drive the old gal till it does LOL

Well, i've been running stock on my FICM and PCM for 2 weeks now with nary an issue...
I loaded a PCM tune last night (not the tune that seems to give me issues - a different one), and it tuned just fine. Took it for a 10 mile drive and no issues. Went back home to load my FICM tune. Pulled the relay and to my surprise, it had a big crack in it! Hmmm..wonder when that happened?? Swapped it out with my spare relay and tuned the FICM. Took the same 10 mile drive and all good!
I do think my #8 injector that was swapped contributed to the random misfire when hot. However, i'm crossing my fingers that this FICM relay thing might have been the issue of the erratic idle. Guess it could still be the tune as well, but this weird erratic idle thing started happening when I first loaded that tune, but I also tuned my FICM at the same time. Wondering if that relay had a crack then and I didn't see it...
Thoughts?
