Does anyone here have a Chrysler DRB 3 or use one regularly? Is there any scan tool on the market that completely replaces it 100%? They seem to have gotten really expensive lately, and include varying degrees of accessories.

The FSM of my 98 Ram1500 regularly refers to the DRB 3 for diagnostic procedures. Of course, it was the factory service tool at the time. But it seems accessing ABS faults on this vehicle is not a normal scan tool function.

If there is something on the market that reliably replaces it 100%, I'm interested. If I need to cough up the money for a used DRB 3, thats fine too, but I'd like to know what I really need to be included with it, other than the OBD2 connector.

Any insight anyone has would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

We have a DRB3 with accessories at the shop. I use a Snap on all day and the DRB is rarely needed. It does have some security functions, vin change stuff, non powertrain module programming, that other tools don't have. Controller Technologies Corp. has a DRB3 Emulator that is supposed to be a 100% replacment but I don't know anyone who has one to verify that to be true.
