Has anyone purchased a lap top, cat et, connectors, etc? I see theres places selling as a package and it would be for my personal use only, just a little sceptical of some of the places selling these. Any experience or recommendations is appreciated.

Would be interested in this info to.....
I've "heard" that cat won't sell et to a one truck owner for any price . But that is hearsay. -
My cat dealer told me they cant sell it to me, even if they could the price is outragous compared to online.

You can buy it from repudable dealers with 6 monthly updates

Im looking for something along these lines, but somewhere that someone has had experience purchasing from.

Or has anyone used this Xtruck adapter?

Any hardware you buy from trucksdiag.com is a cheap Chinese knock off. The Xtruck and Nexiq that they sell are Nexiq clones that eventually stop working and cannot be fixed. When it comes to hardware, spend the money for a real Nexiq.
ET licenses are not transferable, if you buy a laptop with ET installed, it's no longer legal. Even if it was legally activated, it's not legal for you to own. Any diagnostic laptop that you buy online is pretty much guaranteed to have illegal software. It is the real software, just cracked or they used an illegal kegen to activate it. I'm not judging, just making sure that you know what you'll be getting.Chevyho Thanks this. -
What are the legal options........? From what I understand - none.
-
That is also a big factor in the decision, you decide which is the lesser of two evils
The only thing I'll stand firm on is hardware, avoid the cheap knockoffs, pay the extra money for a real Nexiq, Dearborn, Noregon, etc. I'm partial to the Nexiq USB link, since I've been using them for years without issue. -
Purchase a CAT Comm adapter III. If ET is for your own personal use I can help you get it activated. PM me
