Get friendly with your dealer


Which vehicles does it cover?

All current GM to 05 with current flash. I forget 8? something.

Thanks in advance guys .

It covers some GM vehicles back to 1991.
You can also buy a 3 in 1 card that will do american made cars and generic OBD II
What are you really looking to do with it? Pretty expensive code reader.

Not for me, but a friend who is a mechanic for a construction company with 4 duramax pickups was thinking about after I mentioned trying to have my high idle adjusted at the dealer. He already owns a snap on scanner, they are very well equipped at this company. Sometimes money is no object when it comes to equipment maintenaince. I will check ebay now. Thanks for the info.

:duh:
Will there be any difference between the Chevy and the GMC trucks with that scanner?

Nope, pretty much does any GM, with I think the exception of saturn

Hey guys. Are there any other scanners on the market that would come close to the Tech 2 for the duramax? Like reading/cancelling codes, making adjustments (eg high idle), Looking a TCM codes and so forth?
Basically what I am asking; is there a scanner that can do everything the Tech 2 can but only for our trucks (instead of all GM vehicles) and at a cheaper price?
I found one Vetronix Tech 2 with GM software 92-04 for $2800.00.
Anybody think that is a good price?
Do different brand names make a difference?
