Is it worth it?

[greg334]

I am wondering if anyone has purchased the adapter for the class 7/8 trucks to see the info about the engine and drive train on a laptop?

And if you did, what do you think about it?

In addition to the cable adapter, you will also need the appropriate software for the application....Cummins, Cat, Bendix, Allison, etc. for your specific components. This can get quite expensive, and in some cases the MFGs. will not sell software to the end user.

Another alternative is an aftermarket scantool such as the MPSI ProLink 9000. The ProLink uses data cartridges for each application that plug into the unit. These units show up on Ebay quite often.

Thank you for the info, the reason I am asking is to see what an adapter would be worth to some who want to see what was going on with the engine and drive train.
