robp823 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Anyone use this.Looks like a steal for all the Bi-directional controls plus power balance.http://www.autoenginuity.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbl35 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I got one, it's pretty good. It wont do power ballance on 01 expedition, 98 tracer, 02 lincoln ls and when i called to complain they told me something like it only does power ballance on the diesels and superduty gas engines and vans. And you cant cancel the cylinders out on 6.0 But other than that i can't complain too much because the price is right. I can't wait to put it to the key programming test.

robp823 Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 You cant cut cylinders out on 6.0?I called them today and asked them and they said yes.Maybe there is a software update you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbl35 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I will recheck that in the morning, I got a 6.0 in the lot. I will call them and see if they can help me out with that but I didn't see the function for it. Also they initially told me it does power ballance on all ford stuff 96 and up exept for villager & 7.3's of coarse. Then when I checked on a 98 tracer it did not have that function in the scroll down list of tests. Then I called and the rep said that it don't do it on tracer/escorts but everything else ok. Then not on my customer's 01 expedition or my customer's 02 LS. I called and a rep told me that power ballance only works on the diesels and superduty/econoline gassers. Hopefully that will be an update. The pid data graph not nearly as good as ids but the pid numbers is what I use and the numbers are large and responsive-great for test drives. All that aside I'm glad I bought it and will update it soon to gm and chrysler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselD Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Im interested in this for the non ford vehicles in my fleet. Its cheap enough I think it will benefit being able to look at the basics on the non fords. let me know how it works for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbl35 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 It dont cancel cylinders and just now im having comunications issues with it. I just did a few things on an f350 and all of the sudden iall my pids went to 0 volts. Then it took me 4 tries to get it working again by shutting the program and finally i got communication by flexing the cable and then lost it a few minutes later. At least i got to check what i need to check but then lost comunication again. The cable is flimsy, dont wind it up and put it in your box. Hang the cable on the wall and wind it up loose or let it hang-it's super sensitive. I only got it in july. Im going to request that they send me a new free cable, shoiuldn't go bad so quick and i'm careful with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
instructordiesel Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I got mine and I have used it on two different vehicles. Both of them were ford trucks. One had a 7.3 and the other had a 6.0 diesel. It took a while for me to hook up. It kept looking and trying to hook up. Once I was in it work good. I have the basic program and I am going to buy the ford software for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Amacker Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 You don't have the Ford package? It barely gives you anything in Generic mode. Make sure you select "Powerstroke X.XL" when you connect (in enhanced mode) and not "F250" or "F350" or it will screw you up. Keep putting the free updates in from their website, too, as they constantly upgrade it. Do you have the ProLine connector? It's no IDS and not even close to it, but dollar for dollar if you're on a budget it's the best thing going in the aftermarket. If you're a full time instructor see if they'll "do something for you" on the enhanced side. Is your Delmar connected to Delmar publications? Have you gone to Nacat the last few years? It's in the Dallas area next year, I think... Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
