Either Joe or anyone else that has knowledge of the Snap-on Scan tool:
Model number MT-2500 and will this tool scan our OBS's? Is this the tool that is referred to as the "Red Brick"?

Rog

 

Thats the one I have & works great ...

95 ,maybe 96 & up ...

 

will do all engines ford has as well as other manufacturers. will not do CAN systems on the newer vehicles. if you can get it at a fair price its a great tool to have on hand. the only PID i know of that may not work on the diesels is MGP. since that is a calculated pid by the pcm it sometimes doesnt show as an available pid on the scan tool. other than that it works great for diesel's and will do all the self tests ford has programed into the pcm

 

That old dog is what i have.
You will need the cartriges, key, and obd2 adpt.

I have an opportunity to pick up the whole case with oodles of cartridges for less than $150.00. Good deal?

Rog

 

good god buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if it is a complete kit you better ****** it up now!!!! that thing new with all adapters is about 3000 or more

 

What he said ....

 

Rog

You can find units and bits and pieces on Flea-Bay.
Its an out dated unit now. Good for your use motor wise.
Trans testing is blaaaaa.

Bill

 

you cant really test much of anything on our tranny's with the scanner. if you get the "ford electronic trans tester" then you are in busniss. i passed up a good deal on one and kick myself in the rear frequently for doin so.

Items in RED I figured would be Ford related

Will the Fords stuff be enough to scan our DIESELS??

As always...Thanks in advance.

Rog

 

The stuff in blue will do everything you want it to. The trouble shooter could use an update but with FTE the trouble shooter will be useless!

 

yup, k2a is the most commonly used one, k-9 is a frequent user as well but i dont recall what i used it for. its been a while as tanks dont need snap-on scanners...lol

 

Thank you all,

Where else could you find such a info saturated group as FTE??

I think that I can get him to come down $25.00 plus bucks.
I'll surely let ya know tomorrow.

Thanks again,

Rog

 

holy crap! if you can get it that cheap you are the man!

 

Rog

I sent the part #'s in the PM.
Maybe cut and paste it here.
I gave you what would have the most PSD stuff on it.
