Post your OBDII Scanner

[SinCity3500]

Just like the title says, I'm curious to know what the GMT400 crew is using as their scanner for the OBDII capable trucks. Bought my truck and first thing I did was register to this forum. I've now done a list of general maintenance/tune up on my daily 98' k3500 7.4. But about two months ago the fuel pump quit, I took it to a mechanic and they replaced the fuel pump, then told me the wiring harness for the fuel pump shorted, which in turn shorted the ECM. Apparently common problems with these trucks? After they replaced fuel pump/wiring harness/ECM to the tune of $1500, the truck has some weird misfiring. In lieu of taking it back to the mechanic, I want to diagnose this myself. After all my lurking it seems a scanner is the first tool to start the job, so show me what you guys are working with, much appreciated.


My current scanner: Android - Torque Pro - Mestart OBDII Bluetooth Scanner

Tech2 clone.
I also use something similar to yours with dashcommand, but for serious diagnostic it's the tech2 clone for me.

Another thread about the same subject.

Blue Driver Scanner. What Do You Think?

I have an older scan tool that does the basics ok. Identified the EGR on my K3500. Does not read the ABS info though. I'd like to get one that is more complete but can run on a tablet or laptop for better visuals. It looks cooler also! Reading up on this tool. Seems to get some good reviews...

Tech 2 clone for serious diagnostics, PLX Kiwi and my phone for quick code reading etc.

Up until a few months ago, I was using a Snap-On MTG2500 with 6.2 software--OBD 1 and 2 compliant for GM from 1980 1/2 up to...2005? Ford, Chrysler, Jeep are from '81 or '82-forward. Engine, trans, ABS, air bag, instrument cluster, Bi-directional control, etc. (vehicle dependent) Very similar to the more common and less-expensive MT2500.

But since some idiot who shall not be named but who's initials are ME spilled gasoline on the thing and in the process, solvent-welded the cartridges in place, I'm now using a Snappy Solus Pro with 8.2 software (Domestic + Asian to 2007, no European)

Both units do everything I want EXCEPT auto-bleed the ABS on my '97 K2500. It takes newer software from Snappy to do that. 14.2 will do it; I've heard that "2010" software will do it. Both units will auto-bleed the ABS of my 2003 Trailblazer, but not the '97. Note that I get other ABS functions on the '97--speed sensor readouts, ABS codes, etc--just no auto-bleed.
