The cheapest way to buy a Pro-Link for DDEC is to buy one for old GM cars, and buy the DDEC cartridge separately.   GM cars used the same diagnostic connector as our buses have, so you won't need to buy the $50 adapter, and because nobody these days wants Pro-Links for old GM cars you can get the whole shebang for not much.

To replace the Pro-Link that was stolen when my bus was broken into last year, I bought another earlier this year.   A Pro-Link 9000 in a case with a printer and all cables for only $99, and a brand-new DDEC 2/3 cartridge with manual for $125.   If the seller says Make Offer, give him a crazy low offer and see if he bites.   Bargains are out there.   Also buy the DDEC Troubleshooting Manual, well worth it.   It's like an umbrella  -  if you have it you won't need it, but if you don't have one . . .

Good advice John no way would I pay 500 bucks for a absolute Pro/Link nowadays  ;D lol I read the codes from a DDEC l with a $39.00 OBD reader and just translate the code using the manual

I like my nice, simple DT466. No error codes, no funky electronic crap.

 Hey Scott when you get that bad boy (Nexiq USB Link) up and running, you'll have to post your trial and errors.  Hope not many errors.

Scott, be careful when you get the Nexiq, there are Chinese units that look just like the good one's that you don't want to get.
If you get a Silverleaf unit it will also give you the codes.

       Hi, Jack.  Is Silverleaf compatible with "early 00s" Cummins ISC/8.3 engine technology or is it for Detroit products only?   Thanks,  BH

I would think it worked on all electronic engines.
