ThomasB Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hello everyone, I'm here to learn a few things about newer Mack trucks and possibly share some things that I know about truck repair also. In the modern age I was working on Cummins Select when we simply had some hefty books and a multi meter. My question is if the Cummins Insight is used for Mack ECM diagnosis ? I have been in a closed shop environment with lots of Cummins and now Detroit but want to know if Mack has their own platform. Thanks your comments would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackpro Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Mack/Volvo has their own code reader/diagnostic program. It started out as VCADS and now called Premium Tech Tool. On Volvos and Macks with Cummings engines you must use Insite for engine and emissions repair. Starting in 2008 all the diagnostic repair info is loaded on VCADS/Tech Tool. There are no books anymore on troubleshooting. There is a engine repair manual for the 2008 emissions MP engine but for the 2010 emissions year and after it's all in Tech Tool/ Impact. Tech Tool will work all the way back to 1992 VMAC 1 engines but is super slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasB Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Thanks for the info, I'm sure they want their annual registration fees like Cummins and all the rest do also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I think it will still work but no updates. I think its $200 a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
