I have it and it works great. I've also scanned quite a few OBS trucks. Lots of features considering the low price.

Can you kill injectors for testing each cylinder?

not quite a break out box. but it will do a cylinder contribution test and a buzz test. those both will let you know if they are hydraulically working and electrically.

If i had the money, I'd have one, and I dont even have a use for one.

Jeez i hate being a tool junkie. I'm glad i'm poor. My garage isn't big enough.

Be sure it's the enhanced version. The regular version won't scan a diesel. The lowest prices I found are at ITP diesel, but that was while ago.

I want one too. I'm saving up for the Pro-line Bundle. Covers everything.

Yep Jim is right the ebay stuff is just the generic obd-II and will scan allin global OBD-II except diesel since they are not true OBD-II (well atleast the OBS aren't)

Jim that pro bundle is very tempting!! I am trying to get my dad to let me use the rest of my tool allowance on The Ford bundle so he can check it out and get the pro bundle!! Sounds even better than Snap-on's scanner!

What latest updates should one look for.I really need something but can't afford a $500 unit.This is getting pretty depressing,I'm not sure I can afford these diesels much longer.Between parts,fuel and diagnostic,it's getting way to expensive.
