I don't really know Cummins, but on a Cat you can read the codes from the dash display or CatID. I am not aware of any 'cheap' diagnostic tools for heavy equipment. I think the choices are a laptop with OEM software, or Nextechiq. Probably about $2k either way, and you will still have limited functionality. You are logged in as a guest.

I feel that the one that only reads and clears codes will work for what i want to do. So, for those of you that are familiar with these otc tools, is the more expensive diagnostic tool worth it? What i expect out of the tool is to be able to find out why the check engine/abs light is on. 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. 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. Now i'm wishing I would have tried to repair both in my shop. Especially since the check engine light has come back on on both within 250-500 miles. This electronic 'bs' sounds like a big hassle, but haven't had to get a tow yet.knock on wood. My 3406 and NTC weren't that old when they've been pulled home a few times.

I have been told they are different than the Cummins. I have a Davis data logger and the engine error codes are totally meaningless. It can log engine RPM, load, speed etc etc but error codes are not relevant. Persian turkish series. Enjoy watching latest movies and series in HD quality for FREE.

This is in the 08 cummins Posted 7/11/2011 10:02 (#1858122 - in reply to #1857752) Subject: RE: diagnostic tools for cummins engine Mount Vernon, WA Before you purchase a tool, you have to ask yourself what you want to look. If you want to look at ALL the electronic modules on a truck, you do NOT want Cummins software, as it will only 'talk' to a Cummins engine. On the other hand, if you buy a generic tool that will talk to every module on the truck, keep in mind that a tool like this will have limited ability to perform special tests, like cylinder cutout or other types of actuator tests. A ProLink is one of the few generic tools available for the HD market. Based on what you are telling me, this is likely what you want. You could also look around on e-bay or Craigs list and try and find an older ProLink for less money. Make sure that if you do, you get one with the heavy duty standard cartridge. This will talk to everything on a standard HD J1587/1708 data link, but it will only give you codes, and some limited data. Cummins Insite is the ultimate Cummins engine software, but again, is useful only on a Cummins engine. Tom LinebargerNot only will this software cost you nearly a grand, you'll also need to spend almost another grand buying the adaptor to go between your laptop and the engine. Then of course, you gotta figure out how to use it.

I hear Dodge has pretty much shut that feature down now though.
