Welcome, Rick.  You will find a wealth of information on these forums and elsewhere on the Autonerdz site.  And I'm sure you will contribute some of your own as well.

Great techs from all over the world are represented here so you are in good company  ;)

Enjoy,

Thanks Tom, wanted to add I own the Snap On version of the LS2000 (EEOS306A)and would love to learn everything I can about how to use it to improve my diagnostic capabilities & strategies.All this is new and exciting to me (like a kid with a new toy) and it is sad to say but being factory trained  for  95% of my career has left me lacking in alot of these areas that go above and beyond a flow chart, so I am really looking forward to absorbing all the information I can from You and the other fine members here and getting into the theory of operation and diagnostic strategies that will kick it up a notch for me. And hopefully I will be able to add something to an already great group of People !! :)
