Best scanner video on KZread, and I’ve seen a lot of them lately. I have a 2007 Chevy Kodiak C4500 class 5 “medium duty” commercial truck with a stock 6.6 Duramax LMM diesel. Just wondering if you think the X7 would graph the key DPF parameters while doing a forced exhaust regeneration? Or, at least, hopefully the X7 would show the “soot load” or other exhaust restriction data needed to show the condition of the diesel DPF. If not, do you have a specific recommendation for a scanner for this type of vehicle please? Maybe the Ancel HD3400 or 3500, or? I’d like to keep the cost down below $1,500.00 if possible. Thanks again.

@@FABAutomotiveDetailing Yeah, I picked up the same unit but has all the connections for HD equipment and those are on sale for $650 which is a far cry from $5500 for the cheapest HD scan tool I could find. Been working in mechanical repair since 97 and man the price of these on the tool trucks are getting worse. I can't see spending $15,000 for a Snap On Zues Scanner. When all it is a Tablet with a plastic case enveloping it an add on software. Even the Updates on these are only $200 per year after the the 2yr free updates. and even if you don't update it is still useable unlike other scan tool manufacturers that lock down everything and just make it a read only scan tool if you don't update it.

I am having a door ajar issue with a Ford Escape. Also, a Chrystler town & country intermittent no crank. Trying to isolate if it is tipm or wiring on it. Trying to see if this scanner looks at tipm data on the chrystler and gem module for doors on the ford and see historical data. For the cost of diagnosing one of them, I could get this scan tool and figure out both problems if this tool can access the data I need to figure out the issues.

Can you Clone PCMSs with this Scanner?
Would it have helped me with my charging system issues. I had bad voltage regulator reading at Orielly, but we didn't know if it was bad PCM or something else. Those types of things I'd need
@FABAutomotiveDetailing
9 ай бұрын
It depends on the car make it really has nothing to do with the scanner. Fords are known for the PCM going bad and that’s what tells the alternator how much to put out. You have to read the ECM parameter for the alternator to see if it’s telling it to charge and how much. Hope that make sense.
Looks like a good scanner. Sprinters have Nox sensors, o2 sensors, and soot sensor. They all look like o2 sensors but nox sensors have a little control unit connected to it. They go bad all the time and mercedes has a customer initiative on most of the sprinters to fix this issue.

@@MyJp1983 I had some problems after deleting too much information that was stored on the unit and it took several months to hammer out with customer service (I'm not a full time tech) after about 2 months of passive inquiry, They finally were able to send me a new password to use with the serial number on the unit and it updated to a new operating system. I leaned that I only need to download the auto makes that I need to work on to keep the RAM in operational perimeters. Other than that, I like it so far as it also works as a tablet for an internet browser as well. It does what much more expensive units do, has a touch screen, and is impact resistant. Definitely worth the money I paid which was about $600 with the 4 year extended warranty for the V6 unit.

For the X7 it's free for 2 years, then $99 a year to receive updates after that. However, you could continue to use it without updating if you chose to, you just wouldn't be able to get past the SGM (security gateway module) on newer-ish cars or get the latest updates. But again, the latest updates would most likely only really be relevant if you were working on newer cars.
