[QUOTE="TrikeKid, post: 1494852, member: 16631"] Yeah... DTC's give you symptoms, not answers. A code for a part doesn't necessarily mean that part is bad. I use a Launch CReader VI at work, does ECM codes and the most common live data stuff, was I think $160 from my Cornwell dealer. Getting into tranny codes on most stuff takes an actual scan tool. Transmission DTC's that set your check engine light off aren't all that's there, and they're usually very general codes like "component slipping" etc... If you can find a good deal one of the old Snap On MT2500 "Red Brick"s they're probably my favorite scan tool of all time, but they can only be updated to I think 09. I've looked off an on for one since between the 3 high end ones we have where I work the GM only tool is the one that actually doesn't break constantly. The boss was not happy when the Snap-On Verdict he just spent $10,000 made itself a paper weight the other day (Snappy tech support got into the thing over the internet and even they couldn't make it work). AutoEnginuity is a computer based scan tool I've been looking at as well since I've heard a lot of good things about it and it's a lower cost alternative to a normal truck brand scanner. [/QUOTE]
