I am interested in purchasing a Scanner for future use on this truck when I develop running issues. a Scanner that will tell me Exactly what the problem is, what part is bad, etc...

On YouTube vids I have watched, the mechanics used:
1) Actron AutoScanner Plus CP9180
2) Actron Elite AutoScanner CP9185
3) Autel MaxiDiag Elite
4) Snap On Diagnostics MT2400

Do any of you folkes use one of these four?

What Scanner do you use?

Thank You

Cheap ELM327-compatible Bluetooth adapters may or may not work, make sure you have return privileges.

 

also reads ABS too

 

I have been looking at different Scanners online. I haven't made up my mind Yet.

What Scanner would do Everything including having a Live Graph showing what the Engine, Electrical, Vacuum systems are doing while running?

So Far... the least expensive one I found is $1850.00 New - Autel MaxiCom MK908 - Ouch on the price, I only want one for my self testing on my truck but I would Really like a Scanner that tells me Everything that is going on with the truck. I would then know Exactly what to look for, fix, replace, etc...

 

Sounds like you need to go to work at a dealership.

A friend of mine just got this scanner a couple of months ago and it was amazing at the vehicles that it covered. I don't know anything about them but was impressed by what it did and all with the live feed. He said that it had a good rating and after going to the eBay site it said 4.6. It is like a tablet layout with a long cord that was over 3 feet I liked and easy to use. Kind of reminded me of a Snapon one in away. So far he likes it and said it has a free lifetime update with it.
I would like to know more about them as well as I am going to get another scanner for myself. Did not like their case for it as it was cheap.
Any of you out there know much about this company's scanners?

He said eBay was where he got his at and it was cheaper there. $129.00 where Amazon was like $149.00 or thereabout if I remember correctly.

From their site:

It does all of this Diagnostic On Engine, Transmission, ABS, and Airbag System. For Engine System:

The diagnostic tool can help detect the engine ignition, fuel injection, air, and fuel ratio, and exhaust emission conditions in the Engine system to enhance vehicle performance, save energy, and reduce exhaust emission.

For Transmission:

It makes great sense in the safe driving when your car is slipping or difficult to shift. This diagnostic scanner can figure the problems out via reading codes in the Transmission system, or check the health status via live data viewing.

For ABS System:

Diagnosing an ABS problem should always start with a visual inspection of all brake components, next you will need to retrieve ABS codes to tell you where the problem is, and this is what this scanner does for you.

For SRS System:

SRS, the safety restraint system, is made up of impact sensors, a control module, and the airbags themselves, and this diagnostic device can detect every electronic parameter to check its health status.
