No big deal with the OBD II software. Already own a laptop so it was just a matter of buying the software with cable adapters at $125. with shipping included. Now I can use this on both the Toyota and Subaru.
IMHO it makes a lot of sense buying your own tools even if they are expensive. Because you still save over 75% in the long run and do a better job then the local stealerships and grease monkeys.
I am looking forward to adding a 6hp 33gallon craftsman air tank with their included air tools. Then sometimes in future when we relocate to a bigger home/MUCH bigger garage
I will install the electric shop lift....

Now what scares me is with the OBD II scanners and Laptop diagnostics and laptop reprogrammable ECU fuel management tools on the new gassers, I may be headed to a new level of ridiculousness...but I a guess I'm not the only one with this obsession... The only thing I do pass on is Air Tools. For a lot of wrenching, you just can't get them to the point of access, and after a while I just get lazy and stop using them... |
