Sears has a Craftsman brand clicker in 3/8 drive. I use it all the time. I've also seen cheepo's at Autozone and the like. For the really small stuff (rear pinion rotation force etc...) I found a small 1/4" drive beam style. It's so cute :)

Hey thanks for the link. I WENT to Sears and they didn't have the stupid thing! As for 3/8" drive, nearly all my sockets are either 3/8" or 1/2", I've got some random 1/4" sockets, but I can't be certain they'd fit the bolts I'd be working on. $80 is a TAD more than I was wanting to spend though.

its cheaper than replacing cracked intake gaskets and doing it twice..... :)
you buy it,use it 1 time and ill buy it from you for $80 shipped :D

about the only thing on the truck that you'll need an inch lbs torque wrench is for the trans, and the rear end . . . other than that, just snug them up, it's not rocket science
