Metric or SAE

[ramdough]

How much of these trucks are metric vs SAE?

I have a vague thought that they are all metric but that some people use SAE equivalents. Or is it truly a mix. I am a noob...... so please excuse the noob question.

Also, for the large stuff.... what large socket sizes are need. 38mm deep..... what else?

I am trying to figure out which large socket set to get since I have the small stuff covered.

Thanks.

Its a mix. You will need both.

I noticed that Harbor changed their hand tool lines a bit, with a new ICON series. New products come with higher prices too : ( Shop around.

I actually shop Amazon at times for large wrenches. Sunex and Powerbuilt. I bought a TENG brand too, but thought the shaft was too short I felt for a 30 mm wrench. Otherwise seemed ok.

The truck is essentially all metric, with some exceptions. Basically, if there was a part that didn't come in metric, that didn't stop them from using it, such as the nuts on the back of the speedometer. Also, inside some things are imperial (they didn't really intend for Army mechanics to take some of the things apart... just replace them). I think all the hose fittings are imperial.

For the large stuff, such as the drain nut on the outside of the axle hub, or the large hex nut on the cab latch mechanism, you can get away with using large imperial sockets fairly easily, even though they are metric.

In the end, yes, you need a large selection of both.
