    ABS Module Bleed procedure not bleeding all circuits?

    All the display tech of 1988 doesn't help. Mine lacks a backlight so it can be a challenge to read in low light. If you're getting jumbled characters you probably need to re-seat the celluloid display ribbon cables. My MODIS isn't great either, even with a new 2.5mm CCFL backlight tube. It...

    88-98 Service Manuals

    Similar to Volkswagen in the 1970's. Power at the top, ground at the bottom. My 1977 VW A1 & B1 chassis shop manual wiring diagrams are organized that way.

    ABS Module Bleed procedure not bleeding all circuits?

    D-sub connector nuts on rs232 serial and parallel ports and VGA ports and so on used to back out all the time. One of the things that made them so pleasant to use. Don't reef em down super tight. All they're for is to make sure the connector doesn't back out from getting jostled. Screw them...

    OBD1 ABS Power Brake Bleed - Kelsey Hayes 4wal - Snap-on MT2500

    Same way mine came. I never put on the stickers. I haven't been looking at evilbay Tech2 auctions but I'm not shocked. eBay is a mess and getting worse just like Amazon and several other e-commerce platforms that have "matured"... more like metastasized. Not super interested in the...

    OBD1 ABS Power Brake Bleed - Kelsey Hayes 4wal - Snap-on MT2500

    The Diesels were odd critters. I had a 1995 K2500 with the 6.5L Turbodiesel til I bought my 2000 C2500. The ONLY tool I ever successfully used to talk to that truck was my Tech2 Clone. The Diesel forums had some commentary at the time about how problematic the 1993-1995 6.5L ECM were to...

    OBD1 ABS Power Brake Bleed - Kelsey Hayes 4wal - Snap-on MT2500

    The Tech2 will talk to the ABS and every other system on your GM, SAAB, Suzuki, Isuzu, ... As long as the PCMCIA binary is available and you have the ability to burn a PCMCIA card from the Binaries. If the Tech2 will not initiate an ABS bleed function on a particular controller then that...

    MT2500 ?

    You can never have too many Oscilloscopes. I have eight right now. Three are handhelds. The Tek 545 is an antique 30mhz boat anchor loaded with tubes that doubles as a space heater. I've been told you can tell you have a problem when you have more than three. LOL

    MT2500 ?

    I found the MT2500 & the US Domestic & Asian software manuals on the Snap On web site and I've copied them to Mediafire JIC they decide to completely stop serving them up. These seem to have most of the same information the 2002 printed manuals in my MT2500 have with the exception of MT2500...

    MT2500 ?

    Probably, if you can find the software cartridge(s). The Tech1 & Mastertech parts are getting a little thin on the ground. If you have a 96 97 98 or 99 domestic primary cartridge or the Black programmable primary cartridge with US Domestic unlocked, you have one of the better tools for the...

    Trying to pop out rear lower quarter indent 99 suburban

    There's some interesting tech called Dent Fix MAXI. It's not a paintless repair. You weld on keys and put a rod through and pull on the rod to put tension on the dent and hammer the edges. It's a stud welder with some specialized goodies and I bet it ain't cheap. Robby Layton showed how to use...

    1995 Tbi 350. Runs for 30 seconds then dies. Feels rough.

    Hopefully you kept the GM stuff you replaced with Chinesium. All or most of them were likely just fine. Always Always Always test before throwing parts at it. Chinesium parts usually make things worse not better. First thing to do is look at what wiring and grounds those sensors share and...

    MT2500 ?

    You want to be careful. If the scratches aren't bad try just polishing with Novus #3 clean with water & 91% Isopropyl alcohol, then #2 then clean again with 91% IPA & water, then Novus #1. Go down the rabbithole to 3000 grit wet paper if you can't remove the scratches with just polish. It...

    MT2500 ?

    From my research the Solus Pro installs the OS and software on flash chips soldered on the mainboard like all of the newer tools. It's end of life and I can't backup the OS and software package so if something got corrupted I'd be SOL. As nice as it is, that's one of the reasons I crossed it off...

    MT2500 ?

    I found a MODIS EEMS300 with manuals Bundle 12.4 Domestic, Asian, and Heavy Truck and an OK battery at a pawn broker. No European is no big loss to me. I don't work on Euro stuff and I have a current Autel Maxsys for most OBD II stuff. The screen lens suffered from the case rubbing against it...
