    As the title says- Im trying to find a diagnostic tool/software for series 60. I dont expect it to be cheap but not crazy expensive either. Anyone has any experience buying such tools? Care to point me in the right direction?

    Thank You

    yep, it is style of Paccar, DAF for example reads - Engine WARNING ore ECAS WARNING and no fault codes on display.

    But all modern Mack, Renault, MAN, Volvo, Iveco, Mercedes, Freightliner, International, Sisu... all display codes, some code only, some description and freeze frames

    It works pretty good I mean it dosent let you do any tests or anything but it gives you the code and description of the fault a lot easier then pulling the laptop pricesout I think you can get it cheaper by shopping around its made by otc and both cornwell tools and matco tools sell it so I would defintly compare
