As soon as I read this thread I started laughing...And redheadhunter21 is correct.
The reason your truck uses a Allen head bolt...OMG this is too funny cuz you're blaming Dodge.
Its the 3/8 th Allen wrench THAT WORKS ON ALL CHEVIES AND GM VEHICLES...imagine! How easy is that?
When I started to read this thread I was thinking you were gonna do something difficult, like rebuild your posi or disembowel your steering column. Or replace your Cad inner axle seal...
At least you early model guys don't have to remove the caliper saddle to get your *&^$#@ rotors off. Stupid Diamler Benz engineers!

I think the Benz engineers know more that you guys could ever hope. Everything they do is overbuilt. I'd take an older model Benz over anything new today.
As an aside, Ford has special tools required to remove the radio in 90's model trucks along with the fuel line at the filter. Toyota, Honda, and Nissan require special tools for some services as does BMW.
I always consider tools an investment and I won't buy that garbage from Harbor Freight. Good quality tools should last a lifetime.

them ain't special, i have a set in my toolbox at the farm...along with pretty much any other tool needed to rebuild the truck lol (cept a bottle brush for honing the cylinders)
we even have sockets that make the size used on the hub nut seem tiny (big ol' 3/4 inch drive stuff)
the best thing though, before we got broke into several years ago, we had an inch drive impact, couldn't use it on a pickup (snap the studs right off the hub) we used it on semi trucks and farm tractors, powered with an 80 gallon IR 7 horse compressor
