Buyobd2

This is the one I found looks a little more expensive but not terrible to diagnose the range of yrs.

Obd2tool

Or this one and save some money by just getting the gm option since I dont plan to own anything else.

 

[smokymtn65]

I can find plenty just kinda cautious about which vendor will back it up.. LOL

 

[tanman_2006]

Right, I am the same way.

@THEFERMANATOR Do you know how to change software version from 27.00xx to 33..xx ?

 

[RI Chevy Silveradoman]

Do you have a long term update Ferman?

 

[DieselAmateur]

Curious about this too, as I have the bastard child year 95 as well. The sellers say that this won't work on trucks without a "truck adapter" whatever that means, but when searching for "truck adapter" nothing comes up, at least on ob2tool and obdii365. Any insight on this "truck adapter" Ferm?

 

[THEFERMANATOR]

So far I'm as happy as can be with it. I did have to pull it apart and redo some cold solder joints on the screen backlight connections, but other than that it's been rock solid. The truck adaptor is for working on semi's and such, mine works fine on the 95 side for abs and airbag diag, and connects fine to the obd2 side for the engine and trans. And do not try and update the card or tech2, it will brick it. Mine came with the most recent update on the card and GM has no plans if releasing anymore updates for them.

Ferman do you have a link for this Tech 2 scanner please?

Someday I will get Me a Tech2. Just not right now.

The best feature is turning off and on any injector to check.

Does turning off/on injectors work on the OBD2 6.5 engines too ?

 

[dbrannon79]

I wonder if this also can do the ABS system on the obd1 and 2 also. I may want to invest into one sometime.

Yes. on the engine with ds4 - work.

This is some good information. Thank You very much.

It is supposed to, i have not tried, so i cannot confirm

It does for the 1 year only 95. I learned about 95 being a 1 year only ABS when my local dealers Tech1a could not connect to my 95's ABS, but the Tech2 works just fine. The Tech2 does basically everything from 92-12, and with some creativity it can do some earlier stuff(you can scan 87 tbi's if you put it in as a 92 and others like that where you find a 92 with a similar data stream).

 

[dbrannon79]

Thanks @THEFERMANATOR this is gonna make me wanna invest into one real soon!
