How did the Tech-II work out for you? I am currently looking into buying one of the Tech-II's, as I see that the new GM MDI only goes back to 2010 models. Does anyone know if the MDI will go back any further than 2010?
Does the Tech-II also program the PCM and are there any other bi-directional scanners that can also program the PCM?
I'm still a little torn between the Tech-II and some of the newer Android scan tool. I really want a bi-directions scan tool for troubleshooting. I just haven't found any of the "other" scan tools that offer anything better than the Tech-II, besides a touch screen, which is a huge selling point.
I currently have a BlueDriver OBD2 scanner, which is great for letting me know what could be going wrong. Myself, as I'm sure a lot people on here can't always get physical help with repairs. Which is why I really need the bi-directional.
The funniest troubleshooting moment, is when I was trying to listen to see if I could hear the fuel pump prime. Turn the key on and a quick run back to the fuel tank cap and then under the vehicle. I did that three times and finally called the GF outside. She was already laughing at me as she walked out. She was watching the entire time from the front window.
I have a pressure gauge, but figured listening would be easier/quicker. Learned my lesson on that one, lol.
