Diagnostic software question
Hi I am looking on getting a diagnostic program for my laptop and wondering if this would work on our trucks?

Walt, I use the AutoEnginuity and looking at this E-bay unit it very well may work as it uses one of the same interface as mine does (J1850 PWM)
But that in its self does not mean that it will work on the diesel. Many don't. but for the price it just may be worth the gamble. Guys have paid a whole lot more that this just to find out that it wont work on diesels.

I just Googled this unit and it is strictly an E-bay scanner. Nowhere in the world could I find any Info on it except through this guy on E-bay.
I would be very leary of this. If you want a somewhat low cost unit ($300.00) look into AutoEnginuity it's really a fabuless machine once you learn how to use it and I'm still learning.
Yesterday I did an injector compatibility test. It was really cool to sit in the truck and feel & hear each injector being turned off & on.
Good luck on your choice.
