Title: Newb from Class 8 Diesel
Post by Class8_Diesel on Aug 30th, 2015 at 4:25am
Hello to everyone from out here in Class 8 TruckLand USA.
I'm a "new boot" to class8 Diesel trucks (2 yrs) and wanted to connect to a group of "Class A" people who are bringing lab scopes diagnostics to the forefront of the CAT, ISX, & MX world.

I work at a dealer that employs your standard OEM troubleshooting methods and has tremendous tech support. But, I have seen times where a person just cant diagnose a truck over the phone and where the use of the picoscope would have saved hours of diag time. :'( $$$$$$ :'( (example: taking pressure return pulse readings from injectors and checking with a known good truck to confirm a "contribution too high Cyl2" having 5 bad injectors and causing low power)

I am working overtime to  [smiley=beer.gif]purchase a PICOQUAD Diesel kit and look forward to being a contributing member of this Forum...ERRRR Family. ;) [smiley=arms.gif]

Welcome aboard!  Lots of good stuff here. So  snoop around the forum and ask questions, we have some great diesel guys here.

When you go to purchase your kit be sure to buy from Autonerdz so you will have the full pico scope experience.

Yes you want to buy the kit that comes with the autonerdz support package.  That way you can get in the Pico group and look at the Cummins Bus Forum!  I have a ton of stuff on there as does others.  I also have developed some troubleshooting techniques on Cummins Engines by taking techniques that other people use and modifying them a bit but with the same concept.  Give me a shout when you buy your kit and if you have any questions let me know.  Welcome! :)

Class 8, make sure you get a wps 500, you will be able to look at return pressure of injectors with no problem whatsoever, plus you will be able to do a lot of other things with it too.  It is a very versatile Transducer. :)
