In ideal circumstances, maintaining diesel vehicles is more of a work of preventive maintenance than repairing actual failures. The size and cost of diesel parts can make diesel repair expensive, so diesel diagnostic tools that help avoid breakdowns are valuable. To get the most out of your diagnostics, you’ll need to choose tools that are compatible with the vehicles you maintain. To help you succeed, David’s Heavy Duty Tool Sales stocks a variety of diagnostic tools that are software compatible with a range of diesel vehicles and equipment.
Starter Kits
For light maintenance needs, a starter kit with a simple laptop and basic software may provide enough diagnostics. New vehicles that are early in their maintenance cycles can be reasonably maintained on only starter kit software. Made simple for compatibility with many vehicles and engines, the software is robust enough to provide live data on faults, trip information, and reporting utility.
Tablet Diesel Diagnostic Tools
Tablet-based diagnostic tools shine for their convenience. In compact hardware, diagnostic tablets can easily be used on the go for rapid vehicle or fleet maintenance. Armed with medium-level diagnostics, the tablets carried on our site boast compatibility with dozens of vehicle and engine manufacturers. Key tablet features include detailed information on fault codes, wiring diagrams, recommended maintenance intervals, and assistance locating replacement components.
Heavy & Medium Truck Tools
Higher-level diagnostic software increases both functionality and compatibility. The heavy & medium truck tool software provides maintenance insights on ABS and transmissions in addition to standard engine diagnostics. The software is also compatible with a large number of truck, bus, and commercial vehicle brands. Built-in web connections also link the software to online knowledge bases and maintenance and repair guides.
Dealer Level Tools
When you need the same kind of information that dealers use for diagnostics, David’s Heavy Duty Tools Sales stocks what you need. Dealer-level diesel diagnostic tools have software that provides OEM flash codes and live vehicle performance data and it allows bi-directional commands. On the business side, the software also has the functionality to build custom labor estimates. The software also comes with a support base including technician training, and expert IT.
Universal Diagnostic Tools
Capable of providing diagnostics on automobiles, heavy trucks, marine, agricultural, and earth-moving equipment, universal diagnostic software leaves the minimum in coverage gaps while giving the maximum in diagnostic information. Powerful hardware supports dynamic software, capable of diagnostic reports on both your diesel vehicle and many of its peripherals. Universal diagnostic software offers detailed reporting on fault codes and component data, and has built-in ticket submission for troubleshooting or full repairs. Vehicle body controller diagnostics are also accessible with universal tools.
Selecting Software
Diagnostic software developers seek compatibility with as many vehicles as possible. When choosing software for your maintenance toolkit, try to find the ideal compromise between the hardware convenience and power, and the software utility you expect to need. A more specialized vehicle may need specialized software, or a universal tool to support it. Whatever software you decide on, visit David’s Heavy Duty Tool Sales to secure your diagnostic tools.
