I apologize if this has already been addressed, I tried searching and did not find any answers. I have a small fleet, 7 trucks total 3 with Cummins power, 2 with Cat, 1 Volvo, and 1 Mack. The Mack is a 2000 CX613 with the E7-427 and the Volvo is a 2000 VMN with the D12. I am looking for recommendations on software and devices to read and adjust engine and body controller parameters on the Mack. I have Insite for the Cummins and and a friend has a Snap-On scanner that does the Cats. All I can find that will allow both read/clear dtc as well as adjust parameters is the Mack/Volvo software from the dealer for about $1,000 with the interface cable. The only good part about the dealer software it it claims to work on all Mack and Volvo products from 98-2010, so I may be able to justify it between the two trucks.
I like to do my own repair, hate waiting on a shop, my Volvo is typically in the shop for no less than 30 days every time it goes there, no exaggeration. I can find generic scanners to read/clear some codes, but need to be able to adjust the speed limiter, tire rpm, idle shut down, enable high idle, fan cut in/out points, etc just like I do on my other trucks. Any advice or suggestions?
I would also entertain a local Mack tech from northeast Pa or northwest NJ (Pike, Wayne, Sussex, Orange counties) that has their own computer and wants some side work and is willing to help diagnosis and/or repair my trucks.
