Serv Assistant for ford only uses the IC4 interface. And it does not do the 7.3l pwrstroke.

Check this thread, http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f166/anybody-know-obd2-program-works-nexiq-adapter-125032-a-166414/. It has DLCII for ford.

I don't think it works with Nexiq.
It work with any RP1210A devices include cardaq.
Just go to MD settings menu and make needed interface type if it installed .

autoenginuity is so cool in light trucks...and nexiq works with power strokes and isc isb ..in chryslers...but need a special adapter for obd2..aldo in isuzus and chevrolets can works with idss .only isuzu for trucks..I tested that.

Auto Enginuity is the program of choice from what i've read here on DK. The price is cheep and it comes with an interface. Around 250$ US.

Looks good, but 250 is just generic OBD2. It looks like enhanced options opened by only a serial. Anyone see a keygen around for it?

really ship tool ..to expend time getting a keygen..and power strokes are navistar..to connect nexiq at this engine you need INTUNE
in cummins ..need insite..

Intune works with Navistar? This is for ford E-350 E450's with 7.3L diesel?
I have insite, don't have INTUNE, but seen it here. Which OBD2 adaptor? Need more info.

Sorry, looks like I'm talking to myself here. But since Service Maxx is the current software for navistar and I looks like it works with the 7.3l T444E engine in the ford's. ServiceMaxx also works with the USB Link I have. With a OBD2 connector to the nexiq will this work?

IDS will only work with the IDS box.

The only way to connect to 7.3 or 6.0 Powerstroke engines in a Ford Truck is with an OBD scan tool. The best one for Ford is the IDS, which is the factory tool.

In an international truck with a 6.0 or 7.3, called the Vt365 and T444e, you can use the Nexiq USB Link with ServiceMaxx or Diamond Logic.

The computers in the Fords and Internationals are totally different. Ford also has it own programming for their engines.

The obd plug that Nexiq sells for the USB Link is for GM and Isuzu medium trucks that come with the CAT Engines, as well as for reading Allison transmissions.

dieselmech32
16th January, 2011, 08:24 PM
OK I am going to try to set the record straight on which software is right and which is wrong. IDS is only for Ford cars and light trucks from 96 to current. All Fords and Mazdas. Different version will work with Saab and a few others. MD software is only for F650/F750 and LCF trucks with 4.5 and 6.0 engines. The IDS works with the Ford interface from Rotunda, and the MD will work with the same interface for body, but you need IC4 or Nav-Link for engine.

dieselmech32
16th January, 2011, 08:29 PM
You can download either of these softwares from the Motorcraft website for free. But the Rotunda adapter for the IDS will cost you around $ 2000 usd. But it is a must have tool if you plan on working on any 6.0 or 6.4 Ford Diesel trucks. Not only is it the best tool for diag, but also the only way to got for programming modules. So If you replace a FICM ( fuel injection control module) you can program it to the vehicle, since they come blank from both Ford and International. But you also get a subscription that goes with your interface for software updates. If anyone has any questions please let me know. I have had several years at the dealers to figure this out.

Yes Insite will connect to the Cummins in the Dodge trucks up to 2002/2003 with a special adaptor to connect to the ecm under the hood not thru the OBD2 plug in the cab. The info on all this is here in the forums can't remember where. Search around and you will find it.

RSwire, I used the nexiq obd adapter for the F550 but the F650 uses the 9 pin duestcsh connector.

I usually use my IDS for light duty ford and the software that came on my ids cd for medium duty trucks. Its called Net something.

I have tried on multiple ECM post 03. The programming was changed for the communication protocols. I have enev tried with the bench harness. Local distrib says a STAR module is needed.

Insite cannot be used on any 2003 and up cummins powered dodge because that is the year chrysler took over programming the truck for emissions.

dieselmech32
6th August, 2011, 03:12 AM
98.5 thru 2002 you could use Insite. 2003 thru 2005.5 Cummins sold rights to software to Chrysler. That way you had to go back to Chrysler unless you had a DRBIII or Star Scan, now WiTech. But now late 2006 you can use Insite again, kinda quirky until 2007 model. But as much hell as Chrysler has had with DPF and EGR's they gladly said help to Cummins.
Cummins Delaers will not do warranty work on them, but will do after warranty. But Insite will not flash the late model 2007 up while in the truck.

So you are saying you can plug into the new chrysler cummins ? do you use the obd 2 connector in the cab ? or can you use another plug ? does it have the 3 pin under the hoood like the isx ? thank you for the info

hercamp

all others asnwers are near of right side, I test all dodge from 99 to 2007 , all can be connect with insite but need bench ,obd2 controler in the newer models make impossible the normal connection to module.

if you want connect to ecm in 2005 or 2006 j1708 is enough, with bench for sure.
in newers j1939 ,and bench too.
if you need program ecm is in that way ,to test ,you can work with any obd2 adapter like autoenginuity or other.

now I use pf diagnosis system ,works perfect because ecm dont let change parameters is your not connected to chrysler tool, if you use insite use bench ,will take 5 minutes to disconnect and connect bench.

I hope this info ,works for you.

I have connected to my 2004.5 Dodge Ram Cummins 325hp commin rail with Calterm. Insite didn't seem to connect on either J1708 or J1939. Calterm connected on J1939 and using the incorrect E2M file, I managed to do an upload of my stock ECM file. I now need the proper E2M file in order to open and modify the tables and download it back to the ECM.

Could anyone help with an E2M file for dodge/chrysler??

The only two E2M files I have for dodge are Chr0000 and Chr9900. These appear to be files for a 2nd Gen 24v Ram. I need 3rd Gen common rail files.

Thanks

Insite will not connect to a Cummins engine in a Dodge Ram model 2003 (common rail)to 2007. A requirement from Dodge to Cummins, Dodge wanted more service work.

I have never been able to connect to a late model Dodge ECM with anything except a WiTech or Star Mobile. They have changed the protocol to the ECM programming for Chrysler only. I have a buddy that works at Cummins and he gets several calls from people with Dodges. Cummins can't communicate with the ECM's or even perform warranty repairs on the Chrysler installed engines. Think it is pretty funny that they build them for Dodge, but can't even work on them. But then there would be alot of Dodge mechanics without anything to work on!

You CANNOT connect via OBDII port in cab. Calterm will only connect using J1939 from the 3 pin weather pack plug next to the ecm. Wire colours are white(light blue trace), white(dark blue trace), and black is ground.
