Autoenginuity scan tool bundle

Was on Riffraff and found this tool with the Ford bundle. It says it can scan the 7.3 and run test on the injection system and such. Anyone use one? What are your experiences?

I work on 7.3s and 6.0s all day and it’s the #1 tool in my arsenal. It’s virtually impossible to diagnose these trucks without the proper information from the PCM.

Does it need any expansion packages to see everything for the 7.3 or is it all there? I couldn't tell from the description. I'd like to be able to run test like the diesel shops do but not have to pay the outrageous labor for something I can do on my own.

And what is the FORscan program you were talking about?

I've had very poor luck with AutoEnginuity in my shops and an even worse time getting support (response) from the people in AZ.

Threw the junk in the storage bin and now use the Ford OEM Tool (IDS), Snap-On V, Innova 5160, Autel, etc -- have over 40 OEM and aftermarket tools now and AutoE ranks at the bottom IMO.

I got my scan tool yesterday and hooked it up today. Couple questions, is there an enhanced manual to get with instructions for tests on diesel powertrains? Also, what causes it to read out that a cylinder contribution test failed because there was an error?
