Hello Folks, I am an independent Heavy Diesel engine mechanic. At the moment I am trying to find a multi brand (general) diagnostic tool that would work for any heavy diesel (heavy trucks) engine for the best value. All information and suggestion are very wellcome. I have a small business repairing trucks. Regards, fcampelog
It seams the truck world is not like the automotive where you can get one tool to do it all. If your good with computers there is a lot of manufacthe softwere you can download cheap.
This is the CATS MEOW.. I have one and you can do anything you want. change HP YEP... http://poconos.craigslist.org/tls/4834568915.html
I have a prolink IQ works good just no cummins specific programs I also have a lot of dealer programs this is the best but pricey I have talked to a guy that has jpro and loves it
How long does it go on working before programs expire, etc.?
Have it for over 18 months never expired that what he told me will never expire.
Thanks! I was thinking of XTool PS2 Heavy Duty Truck Professional Diagnostic Tool. Any thoughts on this machine?
Cat et and cummins insite are cheap and say to get online. Epcatalogs has them and will install them remotely for you.
No matter what software you choose, Just remember the cost for the cables. Some get real salty. Jpro prices http://www.uniquetruck.com/p-14101-...iateID=10056&gclid=CPzbwImszsMCFZMvgQodbW4AxA

I have the Pro-Link IQ. Excellent tool. Use it for Cats and Detroits. It works on others as well, but those are the only engines I have in my fleet (other than Perkins).
