![]() ![]() I don't think it's worth the investment to get any more specialized to make one repair in 10 years (I can't remember the last time any in-depth computer diagnostics was need to correct anything) - 99% of what happens in my families cars can be figured out with the codes and little research.Īs a CAT dealer instructor, I can tell you a few things:ġ. They have plenty to do with mechanical parts of the machines.Īs for home use: I just stick with a basic code reader. Virtually none of the end-users fix this stuff themselves. I know 2 "engine guys" personally, one a Cummins industrial engine guy, the other is Kubota, Yanmar, Duetz and a few other brands, who both do nothing but travel between all the quarries / materials facilities, construction sites in the tri-state area doing the in-depth work that requires the computer support. Most end users (contractors or fleets) that I know running off-road equipment of any sort, in my experience, just call in the dealer / specialist in any particular computer-involved stuff. To add to what most are saying: Let her wait and get into the work first. I would suggest this route over the other tool. You can buy one with heavy duty on the old modis not sure how good it is and im pretty sure it is not supported any more but, it is something they do not sell any more so you have to buy one with it already. ![]() Though with an up to date old modis she could do side work on cars at home. Not to mention these kinda jobs kill you physically most of the time you just want to relax on the weekends. As for doing side work it can be really hard to do with heavy or big rigs and expensive. It is something that the company will provide. If you want an o-scope get an up to date old modis.Īs for a fault code reader buy something different but, even then updating it is going to be expensive. So ya not worth it and the Snap-On Pocket Iq aka Nexiq Iq Basically $1900 for a fault code reader It simply is not worth it and no it doesn't have a scope built in. The software for a years license for a full version is often around $30k. They are all licensed software requiring laptops and expensive adapters. You often have to monitor multiple sensors to do any kind of advanced diag on diesels it is not like cars where Snap-Ons scan tools are in some ways better then the manufacturers. HD-OBD is out and is probably all you are going to get for info which means none of the info you need. I have not heard good things about any generic diesel scan tools. All the information you need to actually diagnose and fix the truck is integrated into the manufacturer software. ![]() There is only one tool any more for the Diesels from Snap-On. ![]()
