Vetronix GM Tech2 Diagnostic Scanner

[S33k3r]

So I have searched the eff out of our forums, have seen the billion Tech 2 threads, and decided we would benefit from another one! Yeay! No.

I am a cheapskate... Well, if I spend less money, I get in less trouble with my wife... THAT is the issue.

Is there anywhere to pick up the Vetronix, with or without the $50 plastic box, for less than $379?

Thanks,

Will

P.S. These are the codes I pulled with Torque and this little gem:





FWIW, I assume the P0178 is related to the P0455 code, and fear I'm in for a fuel pump replacement, Yay, not. The transmission codes were not completely unexpected, but I'm hoping it is only solendoids and not needing a transmission rebuild. I need the better code reader, though, as I also have a 4 wheel drive fault that my little scanner is not seeing -- and some other, random crap. (This is for the 2005 Suburban 1500 LT I just bought, and knew some of these things would be problems when I bought it.) As always, thanks!

This is the only place I've found for $379; since I don't want to wait until sometime next year -- if it can be helped -- buying the box and getting express shipping is on the table. chinacardiags.com Vetronix

You can purchase a Tech 2 from AliExpress for around $300 or so. In fact, I believe I recently saw one advertised there for under $300.

Regarding trouble with the wife, I find success in purchasing something for the wife in rough proportion to what I spend on my truck.

This is a money saving device, they pay themselves for the first repair when you compare what it would cost to take it to the dealer for diagnosis.

Rebuild your valve body before it tanks the trans.

Do you have any suggestions (sellers, specific product, etc.)? Since this is going to be my first major tool purchase in... FOREVER... I need to make sure and not screw it up. Thanks!

This is what I would suggest to you to consider.

Thanks everyone! My wife ended up ordering it for me: "Don't buy anything for yourself before Christmas!".

So she ordered it December 3 -- from chinacardiags so we could get it this year!!! Except they just shipped it today.

I got my scanner and have been using it. And then, today, it refuses to contact my vehicle. :-( Anyone know what the failure rate of these scanners is? I was doing something simple like trying to make the door chime go off (the door chime does work). It keeps telling me it can't contact the vehicle.
