you absolutely want the 1/2" drive, yep E-16, and SNAP-ON sells it. you could find out from a any shop when the truck comes around, or if you are on good terms with the local shop mechanics ask them to buy it for you, prepay them of course. You might be able to call Snap-On and find another way (phone order or they tell you what corner to meet the truck "you got the stuff...").
Those car stuff places that sell tools (and some of them are down right cool - like the plug wrench that is a 3/8" drive has a built in extention with swivel AND is magnetic! The proverbial trifecta!) the 3/8" unit is too lightweight for this. It's ok for lesser torque jobs. Starting with the torque values needed 3/8" torque wrenches don't do them, and putting a 1/2" to 3/8" reducer is iffy at best. It's one of about three Snap-On brand items I have (other two are creeper and digital timing light both gifts) and glad I have this one, you **don't** want problems with head bolts either coming our or going in.
