Hi Kevin, I just picked up a tech 2 to help with an ABS issue on my 2004 Workhorse Chassis Newmar Kountry Star. The Code for the ABS system is 0068, which indicates a locked ABS pump. Have you dived into this system before? If so, any idea on the part number for the pump? There is a good chance that it cross references to a more common GM application, and I would like to replace just the pump if possible. Thanks. Tom
Thank you very much for all your videos !!! because you I am more encouraged to buy a 8.1 vortex. What do you think is the best ? 8.1 vortex or V10 triton ?
@@ktoutdoor just wanted you to know I bought yesterday a 2004 Newmar Mountain aire With 38.000 miles 8.1 vortex Allison transmission For sure I will watch all your videos ..... and looking forward to learn more with you ...... you made a big difference on my decision. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Hello Kevin. I have a 2008 Winnebago Adventurer Limited with the 8.1 Vortec. Do you know if there is a version of the tech 2 for this Workhorse R26 chassis? Thank you Grant
Hello Kevin. Thanks for the quick response. I will look for a deal on Ebay but if I ever venture near Kentucky I will stop in. I keep my RV near Tulsa, OK. I recently did both radiator hoses as the upper came in contact with the fan on a 102F day. I have watched just about all of your RV videos and find them very useful. As you may know the R26 chassis has the engine in the rear so when starting it you have to watch the tach. to tell if it's running. Thanks, Grant
I did not know the answer to your question but I braved the cold in order to find out..lol Then made a video on what I found see it here th-cam.com/video/SOaDoPpmpFY/w-d-xo.html Thanks for the question. I should recover from the frostbite soon...lol

Thank you for posting! I have an 05 w22. Have you gotten into the abs module; read codes, real-time sensor data -and- auto-bleed? I am trying to decide between a clone Tech2 and AutoEnginuity ...
No, it will not do custom tuning, as a matter of fact...it doesn't tune at all. It's a trouble shooting tool and calibration update tool. Depending on the platform, EFI Live and HP Tuners is what you need.
Sorry it wont, that's why I installed this fuel pressure gauge.. th-cam.com/video/JvsjL6ESD4gB/w-d-xo.htmlut But it is a very powerful tool to have it does a lot that most scanners wont ..
I would ask the seller if when it turns on like in the video you choose the year , like 2005 then the model and make sure that the name workhorse appears with the 8.1 vortec . Because they may make different modules for these im note 100% sure. I have seen them on amazon also
I have tried a few different code readers but a lot of them wont pull near the information that this will. and by having it with me if my crankshaft position sensor goes out and i am stranded some where i can unhook my car and go get the part i need. this happened to me about 7 years ago.
Thank you again...what a valuable scan tool for the 8.1 W22 coach, especially being on the road !
Glad you are enjoying your Tech 2, didnt know you could turn off injectors, cant wait for some more videos from you Kevin
Very much so .. more to come.
Where do we get a Manual on how to use this tool?
Text me your email address at 606-875-0125 I will send you a pdf file
Keven, did you connect the Candi Module on your motor home or just the main cable? I have the same rv with the 8.1 vortex

Thank you very much for all your videos !!!
because you I am more encouraged to buy a 8.1 vortex.
What do you think is the best ?
8.1 vortex or V10 triton ?
I love my 8.1 much quieter then the high revving ford v10 couple it with a Allison transmission and you got a great combo
@@ktoutdoor thank you
I will buy a rv with a 8.1 thanks to you

of the tech 2 for this Workhorse R26 chassis? Thank you Grant
The chassis should not matter as long as you have the 8.1 you should be good to go if you ever in Ky stop by and we can plug mine up as a test.

Thinking to buy one. Any need for a laptop or is this self sufficient?
No need for laptop just add the gm software memory card when you purchase
I put it the item number and couldn't find one on Ebay. Do you know any other place to purchase one?
I am really enjoying your channel.
Thanks

@@ktoutdoor Thanks! Really appreciate the help.
@Kevin Caudill is this a good site to buy from what ealse do i need for it to work on my 8.1 workhorse it says its cars only have to buy more
Thank you for posting! I have an 05 w22. Have you gotten into the abs module; read codes, real-time sensor data -and- auto-bleed? I am trying to decide between a clone Tech2 and AutoEnginuity ...
Give me a call or text 606-875-0125 I have been down that abs raod...lol
Kevin, do not give out your phone number. Love the video.
My phone number is all over the web I don't mind helping fellow RV owners. 606-875-0125
Hi Kevin, Are you able to change the shift points for the transmission using this tool?
Sorry I don't believe it will but Brazels RV can www.brazelsrv.com you can ship them your ECM they will ship back.
Heard alot about the tech2 u r lucky to hav it. Ive got a question if i needed to program a car after installing a race cam could the tech2 handle it?
It does a lot but I don't think it will do that but to be honest I'm not sure.
No, it will not do custom tuning, as a matter of fact...it doesn't tune at all. It's a trouble shooting tool and calibration update tool. Depending on the platform, EFI Live and HP Tuners is what you need.
Hey Kevin, does the GM Tech 2 read fuel pressure?
Sorry it wont, that's why I installed this fuel pressure gauge.. th-cam.com/video/JvsjL6ESD4gB/w-d-xo.htmlut
But it is a very powerful tool to have it does a lot that most scanners wont ..
Hi Kevin. Looking at these on ebay but it says that the unit covers GM cars but not trucks? Just checking I have the correct unit. Best regards
john
I would ask the seller if when it turns on like in the video you choose the year , like 2005 then the model and make sure that the name workhorse appears with the 8.1 vortec . Because they may make different modules for these im note 100% sure. I have seen them on amazon also
These are a GM mostly tool, so they work on a lot of platforms, cars and trucks.
Sure hope this is easy to use. Have one on the way but mine cost me more than yours. What do you use the cd's for?
I looked at them they have a lot of PDF files and some update software but I was afraid try to update thinking I my break it. It works great as is.
Thanks like me hope I don't mess up anything with it when I get
If you have any questions just text or call 606-875-0125 Kevin
Thanks for the video but, don't some of the auto supply houses (Pep Boys, O'Rielly, etc) loan you these for just a deposit??
I have tried a few different code readers but a lot of them wont pull near the information that this will. and by having it with me if my crankshaft position sensor goes out and i am stranded some where i can unhook my car and go get the part i need. this happened to me about 7 years ago.
Gotcha, thanks!
