OBD2 Scanner Recommendation

That’s the issue- if you need to home an abs module or custom set adaptive on an auto transmission a plain scanner can not do that. The big money covers the rights to access priority software. So on a scanner for big truck Diesel engines. Every year You had to pay out $250 for updates for Cat, Cummins and Detroit diesel each. International was less like $180ish.
With out it you could not read and adjust the particular issues. Transmissions like Allison or Brake systems like Bendix had their own software too. Cannot fix a truck on the side of the road without them.

Where I work the Snapon scanner was just updated and our snap off guy was explaining that to my boss. Watching that conversation was like being a witness to a caveman learning English. So when we have something newer come in the shop he expects a miracle that our scanner an it will be able to do something other than read the code. But he's always complaining about getting azz raped an loosing money sending it to the dealer or another shop that actually comprehends. The concept of having to pay for the softwares needed to correctly diagnose/repair. He's stuck in the 70-80 error where everything was mechanical and simple. I guess a simple time for a simple mind
