    GM Tech2 is a versatile diagnostic scanner

    Thanks for the info guys! Unfortunately it is most likely a problem with the plug on the candi interface. The tech 2 cord plugs in to all but one of the adapters fine. One adapter and the candi connection stop just shy of being fully seated. The cable connections being a problem was unexpected...

    GM Tech2 is a versatile diagnostic scanner

    Um, website not exist anymore lol. Figured this was a good a place as any to ask about the cables the clones come with. They SUCK! The Tech2 to CANDI connection is the worst and will not fully seat. It gives a loss of communication error if it isn't jammed together as far as it will go (which...

    Autel MaxSys scanner questions

    Purchased from VXDAS. Their price includes the memory card and shipping costs while the other sites don't. The $315 out the door price was slightly more than the lowest priced sellers once the memory card and shipping are included in their prices. I spent an extra $14 for faster shipping, though...

    Autel MaxSys scanner questions

    Thanks, I think, lol. That video sent me back down the rabbit hole where I came across this one: which pointed out Launch and Autel muddy the waters by allowing other branded tools to use their software, but with some limitations :falcepalm: So in the end I gave up trying to figure out which...

    Autel MaxSys scanner questions

    What a pita to compare all the different scanners. This is the best explanation of the various Autel lines (MS, MK, MX, etc) that I found: https://medium.com/@obd2gate-com/differences-between-autels-diagnostic-scanner-series-8c01f32124d1 I'm waffling between the new MS 906 Pro TS and an older...

    2013 LTZ turning Nav display completely off?

    Anybody know if the infotainment/navigation screen can be completely turned off so it is blank with no illumination and not showing the chevy bowtie? I couldn't find it in either of the owner's manuals. It is way too bright at night. If the display can't be turned completely off or just the...

    Diagnostic and Programming tool research - anyone use the Mongoose cable from drewtech / opusvis?

    MWD_CTSV do you know if the afm can be disabled via coding with the 906? That alone would justify the higher price of the 906 imo. Even better if the new 808Z could do it....

    Diagnostic and Programming tool research - anyone use the Mongoose cable from drewtech / opusvis?

    Did you get the Mongoose? How do you like it? Does it come with all the software needed or do you have to buy the Tech2win software somewhere else? Which Autel do you have? I'm on the fence which way to go. Have read of many issues with the Tech2 clones and many of the links to them no longer...

    Looking for 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe repair manual

    For future searchers, the factory manuals can still be purchased directly from Helm Inc. Some years are available on USB thumb drive or CD. The 2013 was only paper and was 5 large books. Cost as of 8/1/23 was $400. The shipping was a bit steep around $60, especially since their warehouse is...

    Which tuner to disable AFM?

    Great info guys. I was ready to pull the connector to the solenoids as a temporary AFM disable. AFM has made it seem like there is something wrong with the way the engine is running on this new to me vehicle. Being able to lock it out by driving in manual mode will allow getting a better...

    Looking for 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe repair manual

    Have you found the Mitchell to be accurate? Have you ever used AllDatadiy and if so how is the Mitchell compared to AllDatadiy?

    Just an all stock LTZ Kind of bummed. Didn't really give it much thought since I recently purchased a factory service manual on CD for a 2019 Ford, but I see GM has gone the subscription route. I hope all the MBAholes choke on their profits. Any other options for a comprehensive service...

    Hello all. Already learned a lot from the site doing research prior to buying a 2013 with many of the typical issues, thank you! Looking forward to getting back into the GM world.
