    Snap on Ehtos

    All I am hooking up to are my passenger cars and pickups. I used work in a Chevy garage and got used to the TECH2 scanner and now that I don't, I miss being able to diagnose my own vehicles. What I liked was all the data that was streaming.

    Snap on Ehtos

    Does anyone have a snap on ethos scanner or used them much? I was thinking of getting one and was wanting to know if anyone likes them and what kind of data they show. I want more than a code reader, but I don't want to buy a really expensive one because it is for personal use. Any feedback...

    Cat 525 grapple skidder transmission issue when hooked to large pull? Fluid type?

    to clear the codes you need to put a jumper wire in the service connector ( a 4 pin connector under the dash) and put the jumper between pin #2 and pin #3, the conector on mine is at the very bootom of plastic consol and all the wire going into it are black, hope that helps it is hard to explain

    Cat 525 grapple skidder transmission issue when hooked to large pull? Fluid type?

    you might try to flash the codes when it is not working right, and that would help you narrow down where to look. I think you just have to hold dowm the button with the check mark on it and then be ready with a paper and pencil because they flash out real quick.

    skidder advice

    I have a question about your firewood, Do you deck it and then cut it or do you have a processor? The little bit of wood I cut and sell a year, I use my skidder a lot more, than just skidding to a deck. If you get a grapple you can grab your decked up trees and cut them as the grapple holds...

    what chain saw should i buy?

    That is to bad they dont offer it there. I dont like the 441 because it does not feel like it has the power to pull through wood like the 440 does. The saw shop said it is because the saw head mounts different than they used to and it has just as much power. By different mounts I mean they...

    what chain saw should i buy?

    instead of either saw stihl has started to remake the 440. Which I have four of and can say they are good saws for every day, or casual use. I would not buy a 441.
