Got Milk?

Nope--but I've got a dealer level scanner for my little Isuzu powered bus!  After discovering that the Isuzu dealers charge $200 per scan per code I freaked  out and began looking for a dealer level scanner.  After several false starts and a return of a non working scanner I now have a complete scan and diagnostic system with a lap top computer setup.  I felt it was necessary to go this route since all the info Isuzu has on it's vehicles is proprietary.  I could just see myself stuck in BF nowhere at Bubba's garage and no hope of figuring out what was wrong.

I like all the snazzy new computer stuff and multiplex wiring but I don't like not having a clue how to fix my bus--now I do.  Jack

P.S.  Not cheap at $1500 but -----

And that's the same reason I have a Pro-Link scanner and as many Detroit manuals as I can find.   They are to help someone more capable than me if I were ever stuck somewhere, not necessarily for me to fix the problem myself!   When I had a 1970 Mercedes I had the factory service manual in the car for the same reason  -  how many car mechanics would know how to fix things the way Daimler Benz intended on a car so different than what they're used to?

This is why I converted my 1977 AMGeneral, and am converting my 1985 Kenworth-no electronics on anything.

What I like about the Greydog the only computer is my lap top. And of course if you have a problem get on this board, ask a question, and stand by as you will get a lot of help. Been there done that.
