[Diy_efi] Laptop OBD2 Scan Tools....

[Van Setten, Tim @ ACSSD]

I have a 99 Dodge Diesel truck (Cummings) and a 98 Ford E350 (V10) motor
home and have acquired the "Check Engine" light on both.  I have the
little hand-held code reader that reads and clears the codes, but now I
would like to see the data stream for better trouble shooting.

 

I would like to get a scan tool that works with my laptop so it can be
used out on the road (real-time data, data logging, etc.).

 

What are your favorites?  Have you seen this one?

I called autoenginuity and they have a bundled deal for me for $550.00
since both my vehicles are not really OBD2 (since they are both over
8500 GVW, they are technically OBD1, but an OBD2 code reader will work).
I need their enhanced software they say.

 

Is there any group favorites for a laptop?  I know each has its own
advantages, but I thought I would see what the group's favorites are.
Thanks.....Tim.
