Scan tools

Hey dartman, where a bouts do you live? (Near what "big" town?) Maybe someone else on here that's close and has a scanner can help?

Yeah I've hadah few over the years,jus j bit the bullet and bought a new snap on Solus about A month ago. I had one of the original Solus ones But it isn't updateable past 2014, and I had to lie to it if I had to scan anything newer, try putting the "8th Vin digit" in and it would take me back to vehicles that were out in 1985 instead. So I sold that one to put down $$ on the new one. I also have a generic action one that is sometimes a little bit useful but not as much as the snap on is. We have a otc genisys at work that seems easier for GM's but the snap on is easier and more user friendly for the Mopar stuff that I have had to work on. None will do everything, ideally if you need that, you'd need 1 each of the factory scanners as the dealers have but we all know that isn't real practical for most of is.
I have 1 test that ihavI been needing to run on my Durango that I had to run down the street to the stealership to get done because none of the aftermarket scanners I have or have had access to could. And that is a2001..... I hate newer cars. Which is why I most recently bought a 85 D150 with a slant 6 in it
