wiTECH Bandwidth Requirements

Posted on July 25, 2018 by wp-admin

DESCRIPTION:

*   Reliable Internet connection speed and consistency are essential for the wiTECH System to complete flashes.
*   It is recommended that the communication speed of your Internet connection be a minimum of 1.5Mb/sec (Megabits per second) for the 1st witech Micropod 2 Client.
*   Each additional wiTECH Client should have 1.5Mb/sec. of additional available bandwidth. Of course, the better the connection is, the faster the flash files will download before the flashing will commence.

ABOUT CONNECTION SPEED

*   Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) advertise their Internet connection speeds in Mb/s or Mbps (Megabits per second).
*   However, when testing your Internet connection, sometimes the results are displayed as MB/s (note the capital B) which means Megabytes per second.
*   There is a big difference between the lowercase b and the uppercase B. If the results are displayed as MB/s then the number has to be multiplied by 8 in order to obtain the speed results in Mbps:

For example, if the speed test resulted in a speed of 1.5MB/s (note the capital B), then we would calculate Megabits as follows:

1.5 x 8 = 12

By this calculation, the Internet connection speed is 12Mbps (12 Megabits per second).

TESTING YOUR CONNECTION SPEED

*   Two popular speed test websites are www.speakeasy.net/speedtest and www.speedtest.net.
*   *   Both websites already display the results in Mbps (Megabits per second).
*   As resources on the network are used, bandwidth availability can be reduced. Therefore we recommend performing a network speed test from multiple machines simultaneously to capture true network speed.

Speedtest.net:

* Speedtest.net automatically chooses the test location for you; all you have to do is click on the Begin Test button in the middle of the site.
* The results will be displayed once the test is completed.

Speakeasy.net

*   The Speakeasy.net speed test lets the user chose the target location of the test.
*   *   We recommend that you choose the target server that is closest to your dealership.
*   After choosing a location the speed test will automatically begin and results will be displayed once completed.

Which Tool is Best for Truck Diagnostic & Programming

Posted on July 6, 2018 by wp-admin

Have search info for a few days ago because I want to learn about how to set myself up with Truck Diagnostic Tool/programming software and the proper tools to do my own work.

Topic: Looking for a good truck performance programmer

Purpose:
I want to be able to read codes on our trucks, address check engine lights, abd lights and whatever else.

Changing parameters would also be nice to do.

Truck:

We have 5 trucks. 3 of mine all have series 60. From ddec 2 up to ddec 4. He has an isx and an Acert. Our trucks are kenworth, Peterbilt and a intl 9200. Would also like cab side on those.

Budget:

I think a $4-500 one should fit the bill.

(Am I able to find everything I need rather than paying some company $4-5k for a tough book and some programming?)

Diagnostic tools looking for trucks:

I have seen a nexiq also the new NEXIQ USB Link 2 and a drewlinq. I think they all serve the same purpose?

Recommendation for hookup: (credits to Samsquantch84)

Laptop: You can pick up a used Lenovo T410 on the web for like $200. They are durable laptops not the best battery life. but get one that has an i5 processor. They are more than fast enough. If you get a laptop that is a little under powered it makes the programs run slow which is really annoying for doing diagnostics. They are pretty rugged laptops.

Equipment: Definitely the best solution is to buy an authentic Nexiq usb link one or two. But if within your budget, a good Nexiq clone of high quality (now called VXTRUCK) should be OK. It’s $200 around. I have to tell you, you need have luck with Chine clone coz you may have nothing but issues with the clone. Go to a good man of his word to trust.

The only real difference between the old one and the new one is the two is that the usb link two supports newer vehicles like ghg17. You probably won’t need it.

Also be careful buying one online unless it is a reputable source. There are some really good looking clones available that are deceiving. obd2tool.com is a supplier of the HQ NEXIQ USB Link and has great support so that is the only source I recommend. I have used it to program a new chip. Success.

Software: As far as software goes. Find Detroit DDDL, Cat ET 2017, Cummins insite 8.1 and you should be good to go. All are easy to get for free from forums or other place. Also, have a try with crack versions tested by professionals. If you start getting into new Pete’s or kenworth’s like 2012’s(my date’s might be alittle off) and up paccar esa might be handy as well. It connects to the body controller side and allows you to control things like if you install led headlights in a truck that had incandescent you have to change a setting in the cecu for it to work. Also keep learning. There is so much help and information available on this forum from some of the right people. you will learn who they are. Congrats on trying to better your self. and if you have any questions just ask. International uses diamond logic build for the cab side. It’s not the most user friendly software, just like their trucks, who in their right minds uses straight thread o-ring to push to connect air fittings…errrrrr. Also you can go on

quickserve.cummins.com and register for a free limited owners plan which gives you access to parts and service manuals for up to 5 engine serial numbers for free. and dependent on your peterbilt and kenworth dealers you can register with them your vin numbers to a fleet e-cat. It gives you access to look up your vin numbers and view wiring diagrams. It can come in handy.

1st what you need to do on you GM tech 2

Posted on March 1, 2018 by wp-admin

And so, you came to your device, and you hold it in your hands. First of all, after you have made sure that it is intact, no need to go write a review or to complete the transaction, depending on where you bought it. Unpack Tech2 Scan Tool , the first thing we need to insert it in the Tech 2 memory card, no matter what the slot. To find the power supply from the network, plug rs232, as in the photo below, and the cover on the main cable.

Now insert the plug GM 3000098 in the Tech 2 from Obd2tool.com , turn on the unit to the network and device connector is nearly blank. The first thing you will see is a POST test . Next to the menu and select tools options -> self test. Insert our rs232 plug and select Automaited test main board and VCI.

Here rs232 indicates that without our help, your GM Tech2 cannot communicate with the computer. Rs 485 nothing serious. But this is enough to Main PCB Self Test Fail. This isn’t a problem, because it is removed very simply, if errors are gone, and you still cannot connect to the computer, it is also just corrected. HBCC IGNORED’s OK too. But if mistakes will be much more, it is best to make sure you get the Tech 2 back, or you sent the new modules from him.

Next you need to test Candy , unfortunately I do not have a photo, but we havent nothing complicated, perhaps later I will make a short video like 5 minutes to test. Later I will try it’s clear to tell you how to resolve certain problems.
