  • In this video I'm reviewing my new Autel Scan Tool. I've been using it for about 3 months and I love it! I wanted to share what the features look like, what it can and cannot do to help other techs make a more informed decision about which scan tool to purchase.

      No, I won't be there. Had a lot of life changes that have kind of thrown me off a bit. Hopefully I'll be able to think about it again in the coming years. Thank you

      @@fordtechchris Sorry to hear that! If you need anything just let me know. Happy to help in any way I can. It's hard to go through things but know you've got a whole community that has your back. One of my favorite quotes is from Winston Churchill-"Success is not final. Failure is not fatal- It is the courage to continue that counts". Never give up bud and know that you have a whole community of fellow Aviation people that support you! Let me know if there's anything I can do for sure. More than happy to help!

    Great video!!! Nice scan tool. What's the difference between a mk908 vs ms 908?

    • @fordtechchris
      @fordtechchris  Месяц назад

      I believe the MS908 comes with a J Box for programming modules. But the J Box gets used with other software outside of the Autel suite. The Autel software cannot do PCM updates. I already have a Ford VCM II so the MK908 Bluetooth adapter was sufficient.
      I haven't tried using the Autel with the VCM yet, but I'm curious if it would work

    Great video! Can this operate without subscription?

    • @fordtechchris
      @fordtechchris  2 месяца назад

      Good question, my instinct tells me it won't. But my subscription hasn't expired yet and I intend to renew to keep getting updates.

    No power balance function. Thats a must function when working with the older Triton 3v motors.

    • @fordtechchris
      @fordtechchris  4 месяца назад

      You can monitor cylinder misfires and I've found it plenty effective to simulate power balance, but I also have an IDS that I use for most Ford's.

      @@SixFive8 I haven't tried, but based on what I've seen with other manufacturers, not Ford's .... It offers the misfire pids that you can overlap the graphs and see which cylinder it identified as misfiring. I think it's a fairly effective tool when configured that way. Use it all the time on everything but Ford's

      Not this model. They do have versions that come with J-Boxes and you can use those with manufacturer subscriptions to program modules.

      It's as good as anything it will let you see all the data any other scan tool would except OEM tools obviously.

    Won’t buy Autel till they give 2 years of subscription in the initial purchase

    • @fordtechchris
      @fordtechchris  5 месяцев назад

      That would be nice! The subscription is 90% of the cost of the hardware!
      But I just bill that sunk cost in to my diagnostics.
