When y’all are disconnecting The quick connect at the tank you should disconnect fuel pump and crank the bike over in neutral to get the fuel pressure down so you don’t blow your seals out I just did that and had to spend the rest of the day replacing both lines
Bosch 525x.. check this out you're going to need autoauth for 2012 + for any vehicle for programming modules, key programming, the interface will program u have to tie to a lap top i5 16gig or better bosch is 1 of if not the biggest manufacturer of automotive computers gm has everything locked down. GM software "dealership" is like $60 for 3 days along with the autoauth in order to bypass the security gateway. The 525x I can hooked to Diesel " hd semi's" with and adapter cord and does more then the average 800 hd dioanostic tools out there. They make a great product. All Chevy GM vehicles Bosch, a text 2 clone., and or and interface with gmwin2 once again through Bosch 525x 3500 2yrs ago now new in box 1600 max sometimes 1350 range all the chev vehicles u have you won't regret it
commenting on a 3 year old video. your measurement may not be 100T accurate, but it IS scientific method. you measured your constant pool temp, before heating. then measured the two variables and made a comparison.
I bought some LED replacements for my 1141 incandescents, but the box says 1156, and they don’t seem to work. I thought 1141 and 1156 were interchangeable.
Hey Brother, I too ran into Launch USA not supporting my X431 V !!!!! And the reason I bought it was just like you "Supports IMMO and key Re-programming" Ha !!! And when try to get support I should say "Text support only" you better hope it's not on a Chineese holiday!!! DON'T BUY YOUR DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS ON AMAZON Like we did. Thanks for making a video on it. Can I ask what you are using today?
I'm actually using the Topscan Pro from Topdon. Only a 100 bucks and will do most of the things I need. It still won't do key programming on it's own, would need an additional tool for that. I just got it a couple months ago and so far I like it. Scanner Danner did a review on it.
Well, I have the launch x431 pro3s. Was bought with the 2 year free updates, well needless to say, it only came with 1 year. I contacted them, which isn't the US company. I didn't know that either! I have been less than impressed with it. As long as it isn't connected to wifi, I can use all the previous installed software, the minute it's connected 90% of everything is blocked. So frustrated
I just got the X-431 Pro3 Apex and it did everything on a 1998 Merc CLK320 in EU. Launch is better in EU cars and Autel better in USA only cars. Launch is the biggest and oldest scanner tool. It also best for price. Autel is a freakin ripoff and would not scan simple 2003 VW Polo in EU but Launch sees all functions in the VW. Topdon is a new small co. and so is Xtool. Stick with Launch.
I've heard that one is tough to do. Here is a link that I use to get service data on vehicles. It should tell you step how to replace that actuator. It costs $20 USD for a month access. It might help you out. I'm not affiliated with them at all, I just use them when I get in a jam and need to find information out on a vehicles. www.eautorepair.net/
Some high temp insulation on the roof wall between the coils, and maybe more coil incoming around the chimney pipe to prewarm incoming water. Towards the idea of a furnace for melting metals near the coils the heat has more dwell time around coils, smaller fires with bigger temp increases
Purchase a Launch x431 in June 2023. $1,400 us dollars. After testing on multiple cars and contacting there customer service i was told its not capable of programing a BCM for a 2017 Gm, but it was advertised as it would. I when the route you took, let me contact Launch. Was told the same thing, China unit they dont support. Sorry, good buy. Unfortunately, Tom is passed and I was unable to return. My biggest frustration I’ve just tried it on a dodge ram Chrysler product and I’m unable to get through the security Gateway because this is a offbrand unit not US made. I believe launch does have skin in a game. It’s their name on it. Same product, they’re just getting there sales up and running there products name. I wont buy or rexommend there product.
Old video, I know, but an update for the x431immo. Bought in Feb 2024 for the specific reason to offer customers key adding and programming. Payed around 1,500 for the tool and the immo. It specifically says it can read the immo pin code to add keys, etc. The first key job came in for a 2012 town and country. Used the tool, and it wouldn't read the immo pin to add a new key fobik. Called Launch customer service to be told it was a software issue on their end. I should've just ponied up the extra 600 bucks and bought the Autel. I have seen folks having the same issue with the X431 with the J port. Wont do ecu reprogramming. I wouldn't recommend these tools. They are more geared towards foreign cars.
I can understand your frustration. As a multi tool distributor based in the southern hemisphere. This is an issue we run into daily, the tool brand be it Launch, Autel or whoever gets a bad wrap because of these online vendors. They sell unauthorised versions of these tools into countries that they are not specified for (incorrect software) thus the tool getting a bad name. As a distributor same as launch tech USA we are unable to support these units generally because the manufacturer will not support it through our channel because it is not a unit they sold to us to onsell, as much as we would like to help. As for price yes your country based distributors might cost a few hundred dollars more than Amazon and the reason behind that is because we need to be able to cover the costs of onsite training, tech support & software development. You might be a few hundred out of pocket at the start but this is a two way street, you get someone to call when the tool doesn't carry out a certain function and we have a channel of feedback to log these issues to improve the tool so everyone wins in the long run. But I do agree the term ecu programming is used too blatantly. Most modern vehicles require j2534 programming with OE software.
A little late to the party as usual. If you want the full capabilities you are looking for as far as IMMO and automotive key programing in the US, you need to be a member and certified with NASTF.
I just learned this recently when watching a video of L1 Automotive Training. Makes sense why you would need to be certified, just sucks for the DIYer.
Brilliant video mate i have just brought a bran new launch x431 pro plus diagnostic tool off ebay over £1000 and it would not even let me connect to the car i was on it for hours couldn't find the vin number either plus it did not even come with the key coding tool thats a extra £500 and it would not to a topology mapping MODULES test either its gone back to ebay
I really like the unistrut with a bolt on each side. I haven't seen that version before... I'm also going to be bolting mine directly into the ceiling joists and I don't like the brackets that most people use that drop the unistrut down a couple inches from the ceiling as my garage ceiling is fairly low; I was thinking about a deeper channel and just bolting through the holes into the joists, but the unistrut you use uses 2x the lag bolts and that gives me a bit more confidence.
Thanks for watching! I haven't had any issues with this design yet. I have found I use it more than I thought I would. I think if I were to redesign it, I wouldn't use lag bolts but maybe threaded rod or long bolts to go through the ceiling and to a steal plate or something equivalent that rests on top of the truss. Would take a little more work but would be stronger than lag bolts.
@@UpperPeninsulaDIY My garage is directly below my kitchen and I have no way to access the top of the trusses for a through-bolt type install. Do you happen to have a link to the Unistrut that you purchased / that's in the video? I looked at the Amazon link in your comment and it's not the same Unistrut as in the video.
It's been a while but I believe you are right about unistrut link. I provided that as an example but I should update that now that you say that. I got the unistrut at menards I believe because that was the only way to get a full 10 foot piece. Menards SKU: 3656562. I'm sure any big box store near you would have it.
Xtool d8 is quite good at immo.. it was seven hundred when I bought it in 2022. now I've seen it around for under five hundred.. and they have also upgraded it to have topology. It's better than most at immo though. Says it has ecu and eeprom programming. But I've never used it. There are bluetooth and wlan versions now that cost a little more. The original D8 is direct wired.. which I prefer
@@UpperPeninsulaDIY No problem. I've used mine to make several different keys now. It even pulls codes from the ECM's on cars that require you to read the code first and then put it in during the procedure. . Xtool has a really good locksmith scanner.. and I believe they just combined all that software into the D8; because I've never seen a video on here where it failed to make a key.. There is also an xtool D9, that is even more capable, but it costs quite a bit more.
