My dad told me I was the kind of person people either loved or hated - there is no in-between. I'm used to this. I'm sure this character's experience teaching over 4000 techs electrical diagnostics over the past 16 years - like mine - is what validates his comments. His total of 25 years...

I tried to send you a private msg to explain. I don't feel compelled to share much detail amid so many irrational critics. There is method to my madness, but your experience should allow you to appreciate that if I don't defend it, then I essentially invalidate it myself. What are my choices?

You must be a pretty tiny guy Mark, because I've never noticed you living in the crack of my *** the past 13 years soaking up all the BS I've been excreting.

Not by my standards. In the case of either analog or digital solenoids, the ECMs I'm used to have SOL RETURN, which is simply ground. It's not an input. Inputs are data. Even switched digital ground inputs are simply reference grounds. With respect, I think you're over-thinking it. The...

Is there a little dancing icon thingy for "Dufus"? The instructions in the manual make it patently clear that the tool is a substitute load, not a substitute sensor. On CAT PWM sensors terminal A is B+, terminal b is B-, and C is signal. We can test A and B (5v or 8V) without harm or concern...

Use on any analog load wire, can be used on PWM, sensor drivers and any bare wire isolated at both ends and energized. As a very poor inventor, I couldn't afford to field test it on every type of ECM and every type of input - hence the, "Not for use on ECM inputs". That's it, as long as you...

What the hell am I trying to get around. You do realize I'm saying the tool is NOT for inputs, right? It's not like I'm trying to make it do more than it does - I'm doing the opposite. I'm in an argument with someone who doesn't understand I'm telling you is does less than you want it to. This...

No sweat. I'm enjoying myself. I teach - that's it. I love it. I love helping folks. Got a great email from a new Tech Instructor in Michigan this morning that both thrilled me and humbled me. Said the concept of teaching Ohm's Law I espouse helped him get through his first semester teaching...

The only person ranting is you. The LOADpro does one thing - one! It loads the circuit so the open circuit voltage reading that doesn't work, a voltage drop without the need to predict a fault. The ghost and zero voltage readings make the 3 wire faults instantly visible. And since there's no...

I actually have an M.S. in Education. I don't have horns, but I do "S". However, my "S" don't stink. It's deadly. :scared:

The Waekon Volt-Pro doesn't have an associated patent. The packaging and tool are not marked. The President Bob Bauman stated emphatically at the meeting that he would have my patent invalidated. They contend - to quote the engineer George Hart - "you can't patent a load tester." To which I...

First, it's spelled "eruption". Second, that's not how you use the tool. Read the manual. (PS - I know - I wrote it)

NO it doesn't. It says "Not for use on ECM input circuits". I should know - I wrote the damned tool manual. I built it. I tested it. I've said repeatedly that a great many techs HAVE found ways to use the tool on the inputs. However - to re-re-reiterate - there is no loadable voltage on an...

It's going to have to be tomorrow - sorry. Went back to the studio to get the finished video but it wasn't finished. Sometimes these things take a while.

I'm still here. I assure you, you ask, I answer. I finished the side-by-side-by-side comparison of the 3 tools in question. Some of you here might be interested to know that the Cummins engine shut down with only 5Ω in the ECM power circuit. 5Ω ain't much. Posting it tonight. Brought to you...
