Launch Makes Matco. They seem good seem to cover most makes and models decently with good functionality. Matco seems to have the auto identify and quick reset shortcut icons. They seem to have a nicer interface. Launch has the info but have to go a few menus deeper to find it. I am comparing the...

The 906 BT is supposed pretty much do what the 908 does. The 905 is discontinued and it also did what a 908 does. The 908p and elite can program. The launch is pretty decent. It covers Domestic, Asian and European. I have a 906 and just added the Launch pro. It is the first wireless VCI tool...

As per Autel on their Website they have in Chinese court defeated the GM suit and settled the Ford suit.

I have had a Maximus as a demo for a week or so and like it so far. I am considering getting the Max Go which has the same software and features less doc and scope capabilities plus smaller screen. It compliments my Autel 906 and older Solus with 14.2 quite well. On a 2003 Subaru the Maximus...

I myself find it is a great "ADDICTION" !!!! The software is the same, you cannot add the scope, different screen size and am not certain of the processor. I think a MAXGO would be a good addition to my Autel 906, and old Solus Pro. :beer: I have the DS708 and think it is useless unless it has...

I have noticed information that Autel has settled their lawsuits. Yes I came across it somewhere I believe on the Autel sites. They settled the Ford suit and beat the GM suit in China.

Yes insulate it. It certainly makes a difference. It makes it much more comfortable. The insulation in my house attic settled, so I blew fiberglass into my house and my garage attic at the same time. It really reduced the sharp cold feeling in winter that I used to experience. It is funny when I...

It may be recommended but doesn't have to be. I used a mid rise lift under my opener track at my house so I ended up raising the motor end up in order to be clear vehicle roof tops and provide extra clearance. I have left it that way for nearly a decade.

I see you found an answer to how. I would recommend leveling it. That way the arms can swing and wont jamb. otherwise you will have un level arms.

Lastly, what makes brake fluid its own species in the hydraulic continuum? The properties of the brake fluid are different and may not be compatible with the seals. As a mechanic I have fixed vehicles that have had atf of PS fluid added. The seals mush up, shrivel up and start to leak and jamb...

The 5/8 is equivalent of 16mm. The 20mm is used on 90's gm gas filter. Also on 200's oil cooler lines. The 23mm that is talked about fits some tie rod end nuts. I used the 23 mm today on a 2006 Dodge charger tie rod lock nut. It has 23mm on the replacement tie rod it was originally 24mm. There...

Yes, I like them. Have been buying Channel Lock ever since I discovered that the tool truck brand side cutters looked identical to the the channel lock brand ones. They are reasonable cost and stand up great. Love the code blue adjustable wrench, I have worn out the rubber handle. :thumbup:
