Check on a Motorsports forum. There are a few different methods that you can do for cheap. You'd just have to figure out what your specs should be.

Ok, I wasn't sure on that. It isn't required by law for aftermarket code readers to be able to read data if I remember correctly.

Simply checking codes is permissible through the SGW module. Running actuators and performance tests and possibly reading data parameters (ie. RPM) isn't passed through the SGW without "the big Mopar in the sky" giving the ok. So yes, tapping into the CAN C bus will allow you to do all of those...

Yeah, 2 sets would be necessary because theres 2 CAN buses. Can C which has PCM, TCM, ABS, and other modules, and CAN IHS which has airbag (ORC), steering column, HVAC, radio, and others. You'll need both to make full use of BCM as well.

My 2 cents on the security gateway, it would be very easy to bypass it by hardwiring into either/both of the star connectors on those vehicles. It eliminates communication going through the SGM. Most of those star connectors are easy to access as well. Typically under the dash on passenger side...

Work, I don't have much of a garage where I'm living. It's on the "need" list when I buy a house. The drawer setup isn't bad, I just wish I had gotten a few that are deeper. I'll post drawer pics again sooner or later. I think you could find my old drawer pics by searching if you wanted, but a...

I like them a lot. Stor-Loc offers full customization of boxes and I wish I had done that on my main box. You can see that theres a lot of shallow drawers, that limits organization a bit, but I've worked around it. I spent a couple weeks figuring out what I wanted for my box on the right. The...

It's hard saying without knowing what you've got. I assume you've got all the basic tools-sockets, ratchets, impacts, etc. Multimeter, battery tester, cooling system pressure tester, funnels, a computer, various pliers, soldering iron and torch, test leads, and a power probe come to mind right now.

They were raffling off 3 of them, grey, black, and green. I got first pick. I'll post drawer pics when I get time. Theres a lot of drawers and it'll take time. I've been meaning to for a while anyways.

I ended up winning a raffle for the SO tool cart and it got delivered yesterday. Heres my full setup.

Here's the full setup. New cart is on the right.

All of my 14.4 stuff is well out of warranty except a UV flashlight and I've never had a problem with anything. Honestly, I think the biggest problem is that people leave batteries on chargers. I've got 2 batteries that are maybe 6 or 7 years old and they hold a charge almost as well as my...

I think that statement is a load of BS. If it is balanced properly, it doesn't matter how much weight it took, it won't have a vibration.

I'd be game to test it and compare it against my SO long reach 1/4. I just don't see it performing better with lower voltage. Of course, I was also a diehard SO cordless impact guy until I tried the Milwaukee. Our SO rep sells Milwaukee too and has always steered me away from their M12 line...
