Actually Mick, one of my first subject will be a 1999 Suburban, 5.7L CSFI. That's one of our oldest trucks and belongs to the Fire dept fleet. The darn thing looks like new but is starting to have a couple of minor issues ( I'll be doing a CSFI to MPFI conversion on it next February). Next in line are a couple of Ford Super Duty diesels and our service truck, V10 Triton.

I went to Boston along time ago with my son in the Winter and visited Karl for a couple of hours, he worked at the Municipal Yard, my eyes were opened that day by the size of the vehicles he worked on, I have a lot of respect for you guys out there doing that type of work.

But you can keep them, small is better for me Cheesy

The size is not so much of a factor : it's the cost of some of these component we're dealing with that is more of a concern. Recent example : foam injection system fault on a rapid attack truck. Cost of the flow sensor is $ 1800.00. I Have the software to interface with that system, so I was able to monitor the signal and once the wiring integrity was confirmed, it was a simple decision. But it's the systems that I don't have interface for that are a challenge to diagnose and that's where I'm counting on the scope to help us out.

Exactly, well you have made the absolute best choice nor only in terms of the equipment but where you have purchased it and the group you have joined......

However the best way to exploit that good decision is hard work.

You need an understanding of each system you work on and be willing to think about the tool set using the Pico that you wish to exploit.

Your limitation with your Pico like mine is only limited by our imagination.

Does it's main engine power the foam pump - if there is one - with a power take-off? What are the pump specs , like galons per hour, or horsepower? Would that be a water pump with the firefighting foam injected in to the discharged water from the pump?

I was going to get the Surface Pro at first but ended up getting a good deal on an Asus Transformer 3 Pro.
