OH MY!!! Uncle Sam has been good to me, AGAIN!!!

[Festiva_tunner]

they don't hold a candle to a Ford IDS. I have both. And a GM TechII, and a Toyota TechStream (pretty nice, too). Oh, and a Ford/Hickok NGS and OTC Genisys (ok). Even might still have a Mopar DRBIII around here somewhere...

Why do I not belive that you don't have a STAR scan tool?

[FestYboy]

cuz' he does!
having delt with the Verus for the past 6 months, it's crap slow and thanks to the "Boys" it's slower and has no wi-fi interlink and won't comunicate with anything scandinavian.

I certainly hope that turd is better than the MODIS. I HATE Snap-On diagnostic tools... Been looking very closely at AutoEnginuity.

everyone i know has the SOLUS
the MODIS is waaaay over priced and is not as simple to use as the SOLUS

I just put black tape over any light that comes on. Airbag light in my work van has been on for MONTHS. The only reason I dont have the boss fix it is that the "back up" van is junk and should have been scrapped years ago. a roll only costs me $.50. All I can afford. Thank you Uncle Sam, and by that I mean Obama!

well SAAB is gone , who the hell wants to work on a STALL-vo

and anything that has OBD II, the SOLUS will communicate with

and the VERUS???? really?
that was not even a possibility, in my book, when looking for a scan tool

agreed on both points. Fortunately, I didn't pay for it.

Yes, IDS and NGS can. TechII can do some Toyota and Suzuki, DRBIII can do Mitsu.

[FB71]

NGS = New Generation STAR Tester
I do also have a SuperSTAR II, and I might have an original STAR Tester, I'm not sure...

hey jimbo!!!!

if you check your emails on your Hotmail once in a while
you could be calling me and i will bring it up to your work for a little demo as well with the rest of my toys

[FB71]

Jim, are you looking at the pro scan tool from autoenginuity or something for a specific vehicle or something else? Have you any experience with them? Have heard very mixed reviews, at least on the 7.3 chip. Would like to hear what you have to say.

7.3 Chip? As in 7.3L DIT Powerstroke?

I'm looking at the entire diagnostic system. I don't have any experience yet. I'm pressuring them to send me an eval unit. We would be buying 20 units if we like it.

[RichardLSU]

DANG! For almost 4 grand it better satisfy you then bring you a sandwich afterward!

[mechanicaldj]

actually my list price was near $4,500 with the Euro pack

still not what i paid for it

What is this, a "see who can use the most acronyms" thread? :-)
The quote posted should apply. "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

[getnpsi]

Just make a mental note of who has what and try to swing that vehicle to their place when they are having dinner.
