Should be able to on Cummins as well, I know I can on an 09 ISL. Posted 00:24 (#1857816 - in reply to #1857778) Subject: Re: diagnostic tools for cummins engine

Probably about $2k either way, and you will still have limited functionality.

I think the choices are a laptop with OEM software, or Nex techiq. I am not aware of any 'cheap' diagnostic tools for heavy equipment. I don't really know Cummins, but on a Cat you can read the codes from the dash display or CatID.

This electronic "bs" sounds like a big hassle, but haven't had to get a tow yet.knock on wood. especially since the check engine light has come back on on both within 250-500 miles. Now i'm wishing I would have tried to repair both in my shop. I recently have had both trucks to wallworks in fargo,one i knew needed alot of work but the older truck was a total surprise on what was repaired. Then determine if it is something that I want to fix in my little shop or take the truck to a heavy duty repair shop. What i expect out of the tool is to be able to find out why the check engine/abs light is on. So, for those of you that are familiar with these otc tools, is the more expensive diagnostic tool worth it? I feel that the one that only reads and clears codes will work for what i want to do. The snap-on guy and my local parts store have the same story, one tool is around 500 dollars and the other that will do more than just read/clear codes is 1500 dollars. i want to purchase an otc code reader and would like a few opinions. one is an 05 and other is 08, both with the cummins isx. The check engine light comes and goes on the trucks.
